We had a blast at our Forest Festival this year. Despite the poor weather, lots of people showed up to learn, play, relax and connect.

Thank you to Simon for catching these amazing images of the weekend, which really just shows how much fun we all had!

Well what can we say? What a fabulous weekend we had at the second Glentrool Forest Festival.

The weather didn't dampen our community spirit and we are so thankful to every volunteer, photographer, performer, visitor, activity provider and chefs who made this event one to remember. Thank you also to the Eden Wool Gathering and The Vault Arts Centre for loaning us some shelter!

A special thank you to the The Holywood Trust and to Dumfries and Galloway Council for supporting our event this year.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you on Saturday for two fun filled, activity packed days.
We’ve seen a range of weather today in the Galloway Forest, but rest assured, we are prepared with lots of shelter should those pesky little showers persist!
