GET READY TO STEP BACK IN TIME AT NEWSTEAD SUNDIALS FESTIVAL 2026!
Newstead Sindials Festival is back on 6th September!
Get ready for a family fun day of time travel and entertainment celebrating Newstead's unique history and heritage.
Find out about the Iron Age tribes who lived on the Eildon Hills, our Roman occupiers who built Rome's largest most Northern fortress on our doorstep, the stonemasons who lived here and build Melrose Abbey and enjoy the welcome and hospitality of Newstead's current residents. There will be live music, bar and BBQ, market stalls showcasing local producers and crafts, creative workshops, guided walks and historic demonstrations.
The Festival is entirely run by volunteers and last year the feedback was fantastic.

It was great to see so many people there and it was really useful to hear comments and ideas which we will take on board to ensure the event is a success for everyone.
