This page is a work-in-progress which will eventually be a comprehensive set of information specific to the 2026 Dumfries Street Choirs Festival. We’ll continue to populate with content based on previous festivals, and information that is unique to this year’s festival. Please be patient with us as we work to get all the information together. Just at the moment, in this the first wave of the Dumfries Festival website, our content on this page consists of:
Accommodation
Merchandise (T-Shirts)
Access and Inclusion (preliminary notes)
Health and Safety (preliminary notes)
Travel (To and from Dumfries and within the town)

Orders must be made by the 1st of May, which is when availability will close, and we regret, we cannot make any refunds after this date, as our order will have been lodged, and paid for, at the production facility.
Access and Inclusion
Dumfries SCF2026 are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive event, to ensure that all our choir participants feel welcome and can fully take part. We have endeavoured to take feedback on board from previous events and consulted with those who have lived experience to identify potential barriers and put systems in place to mitigate where possible.
Easterbrook Hall is fully accessible for wheelchair users, and a lift is available to access the stage during the Saturday afternoon/evening concert when individual choirs will be performing.
The on-site campsite is a well-drained grassed area, but even so if conditions are wet it may be challenging to get a wheelchair across the site. We will endeavour to place participants needing special access as close as possible to paved paths.
Health & Safety
We want you to enjoy your time here and in a safe way. As such whilst staying in your accommodation, using the festival indoor and outdoor venues/spaces and travelling between places and crossing roads we ask that you please take care of yourself, your health, wellbeing and safety, your personal belongings and any banners you have brought as well as looking out for others.
If there’s a health and safety issue you come across that you are unable to address yourself then please contact ASAP a festival volunteer steward (wearing yellow) who will do their best to help including access to First Aid.
We have done our best to support you against any potential health and safety risks/hazards. This is captured in our Risk Assessment which we strongly advise all choir members to look at prior to and during the weekend. Please read our Health & Safety statement here.
