Swinging on Birches perform on Sat 18th October

What a wonderful community of musicians, music lovers and supporters of arts and culture in Dumfries & Galloway we have! Tickets have been flying out the door for the 5th annual Autumn Trad Festival which will take place over 17th & 18th October featuring Tarran (Trio) and Swinging on Birches.

After a rallying call last week following slow pre-sales, it was very encouraging indeed to see such a wonderful response over the weekend.  It is full steam ahead for the 5th annual Autumn Trad Festival 2025!

Autumn Trad Festival 2025 update

Despite best efforts to promote this year's Autumn Trad Festival - an event that champions young people in traditional music and which was due to celebrate its 5th annual event this year - a lack of funding and poor ticket sales may see the event cancelled.
