The concept of the festival came from the 1973 film 'The Wicker Man', which was shot in Galloway.
With its roots in cult music and cinema, the festival focuses on a mix of fun, fire and freedom, with the highlight being the burning of a 25 foot Wickerman on Saturday midnight - a climax that no other festival can match!
There are two main stages plus a world music tent, scooter zone, psy trance area, a reggae sound system, acoustic village, children’s area, trade stands, workshops, beer tent, cafes, crafts and camping.
Burn Wickerman, Burn!
