Review of Knockengorroch World Ceilidh 2019
Lovely family festival with very laid back atmosphere with wide variety of activities for all. Relatively small so can get upc close to acts. In the middle of the country surrounded by hills Greatly recommended.

Review of Knockengorroch World Ceilidh 2019
One of the most friendly, quirky festivals I have had the pleasure to attend. The music was of a high standard, the people were so friendly and the setting 4 miles up a Scottish glen was superb. Was my first time here but will be returning again next year. Many thanks to all the Knock team

Review of Knockengorroch World Ceilidh 2019
This festival boasts everything else you might expect from a World ceilidh with amazing music from big stage bands from all over the world as well as cutting edge electronica, traditional arts & crafts, workshop areas for adults and children and a nice varied number of food stalls. All of this takes place in in a remote glen of the Southern Uplands in Dumfries & Galloway where rural heritage is obviously a priority.
I have long lamented the loss of places to jam and play acoustic music on the UK festival scene - the openness and relaxed atmosphere of festival life offers the perfect opportunity for creativity to breed and with so many musicians, poets & artists from different walks of life being in one place the potential for spontaneous collaborations is enormous. Knockengorroch World Ceilidh has all this completely covered with an entire area boasting 2 venues dedicated to acoustic performances and late night sessions and jams. There is a reconstruction of a traditional Gallovidian Longhouse as well as the Weirdigans session tent all enclosed within a craft village at one end of the festival.
With around 2500 people on site this is a little gem of a festival with a unique, overtly friendly atmosphere that is suitable for and appeals to families & people of all ages.
