To bring to Dumfries and Galloway a vibrant, creative festival showcasing the region's local talent and enabling communities to participate in new experiences and discover the artistic wealth of South West Scotland.
A vibrant programme of creative events in Whithorn, Dumfries and Galloway.
Bringing together the cream of Dumfries and Galloway's creatives at MaDFOC 2023.
Are you MaD enough for Scotland's Making and Doing creative festival?
During this year's festival there will be a series of themed workshops and interactive demonstrations showcasing the region's best, local, creative talent. You can experience first-hand the depth and breadth of the cultural and artistic wealth of South West Scotland.
Starting from the 8th September at the South Machars Community Centre in Whithorn, you can experience many exciting activities. There is something for everyone..
Dumfries and Galloway is renowned for its rich vein of creativity. It is our intention to bring the practitioners of this region to the remote rural area of Wigtownshire and use the centre as a hub for supporting small and micro businesses.
We hope that by bringing this creative festival to Wigtownshire people will have access to a variety of creative crafts and practices. MaDFOC have ensured that all events are accessible with some events free of charge and others with a nominal fee.
It is an established fact, that creativity at this level improves mental well-being and enhances community cohesion.
