Background to Glenlair Feastival

The first ever Glenlair Feastival took place in 2024, to help celebrate 20 years of Demijohn, the liquid deli. It was so much fun we decided to run an experimental second festival on the farm again in mid August 2025.

The incredible enthusiasm from festival goers, shouting loudly for more of the same ever since, has led to Glenlair Feastival becoming an annual event. The rest as they say is history...

Glenlair Feastival is the first music festival of it's type in Galloway. An outdoor, family friendly Summer festival that combines original live music, with a focus on the very best of local food from the region and drinks from the now legendary Demijohn Cocktail Bar.

Beautiful August weather again in 2026, combined with amazing music, delicious foods and some epic Demijohn drinks has made Glenlair Feastival 2026 more popular than ever. Great enthusiasm from festival goers and musicians alike have led it to become one of the most fun annual events in the Galloway calendar.

Set within the picturesque, rural setting of Glenlair Steading, Glenlair Feastival provides the perfect excuse to visit South West Scotland while having some harmless fun.

Live Music Line-Up

Part of our aim of Glenlair Feastival is to give a stage to a few young, local musicians who incredibly talented but are little known. During Glenlair Feastival 2026, with the help of local performing arts charity Arts D&G, we were entertained with 8 amazing live performances, playing a mixture of genres that really rocked Glenlair Steading and had visitors dancing their socks off!

Glenlair Feastival 2027 will be no different, so expect the music line up to be lively, high quality and unique.
