We are offering British Sign Language (BSL) signing for a number of events from 26-27 September. See in listings for details. The Festival Marquee, The Merse, and County Buildings are equipped with induction loops.

Parking

Town centre parking is limited. Please follow the signs to the festival car park at the Old Showfield (Southfield Park) when you enter Wigtown. A convenient gate at the top of the field leads directly onto Southfield lane and it's a two-minute walk through the lorry park and back into the heart of the festival. Disabled parking and electric charging facilities can be found in the old Lorry Park opposite the County Buildings on South Main Street.
