Welcome To The Tweedsmuir Music Festival Website
Small Place... Big Noise!
What started as a couple guitars and a BBQ is now in it's fourth year, and this year will be held for the first time in the grounds of The Crook Inn, Tweedsmuir.
Come along to one of the friendliest and relaxed music festivals in Scotland! It all takes place in the tiny village of Tweedsmuir in the Scottish Borders, where for one day each summer the population expands by hundreds of people all turning up for a day of music, entertainment and true community spirit.
This year's event takes place on Saturday Spetember the 8th, the music starts at 2pm and there will be live music throughout the day and evening.
Throughout the day there's an eclectic mix of music from established and upcoming bands.
Our lineup is being developed and we'll let you know what it is as soon as possible.
And for the kids we've children's entertainers and fun activities happening throughout the afternoon. Gary James and Stone the Crow will be dazzling them with his magic tricks.
We've invested in a brand new stage, sound and lighting equipment, so we're becoming dare I say it quite professional!
At Tweedsmuir we do tend to enjoy our food and drink, and we've got plenty of both ordered. Our Aussie BBQ master Doug predicts our record of 150 burgers cooked in one hour is looking precarious this year, as we're investing in gas BBQ's. Our bar staff have been in strict training throughout the winter months to ensure pints are pulled and shots poured without delay. And perhaps unique to music festivals our ever popular cake stall will be groaning under the weight of delectable treats, just waiting for hungry people to carry them away.
Having an enormous marquee instead of trusting the Scottish weather worked so well last year we're doing it again, so you can be certain the bands will play on even in the event of a wee shower, and we're doubling, yes doubling the number of toilets!
So we look forward to seeing you all on the 8th of September 2012.

FAQ's
- Can I bring my dog? - Sorry, not this year. We're too limited with space.
- Can I bring my own alcohol? - There is a licenced bar on site, so we can't allow you to 'bring your own' in to the festival. There aren't any restrictions on what you take to the campsite however.
- Is the festival wheelchair accessible? - The site should be wheelchair accessible.
- Can we stay on after the music finishes? - The festival venue has to be cleared and locked by 1am.
- Is the festival child friendly? - We hope it is, all our young children will be there and they have a great time each year. But obviously be sensible, as it's your responsibility to make sure your kids are safe throughout the day.
- Can I play my guitar/bouzouki/fiddle/whatever? - We don't have a space on the stage for ad-hoc performers this year, but no one's going to object to a bit of unplugged music around the bar. If you're good we'll maybe book you for next year!
