After months of excitement and preparation, Youth Beatz 2026 is almost here with 40,000 young people expected to attend the UK’s largest free youth music festival on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June at Park Farm Showfield, Dumfries.
Young people in Dumfries and Galloway will have the chance to take part in a wide range of free activities over the summer holidays taking place in local communities across our region.
Dumfries and Galloway Council has awarded £270,061 to the Robert Burns Ellisland Trust to deliver the next critical stage in the restoration of Ellisland Farm, the home built by Robert Burns and the birthplace of Auld Lang Syne.
Elected members have approved updated plans to guide the delivery of affordable housing across Dumfries and Galloway, helping to support communities, tackle housing need and drive economic growth.
