Cross-Country
Our educators travel from all over Scotland and span from Aberdeen to Dalbeattie. They come from major Scottish cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow & Stirling to smaller towns like Johnstone, Cumbernauld and right here in Dumfries.
As Scotland’s only drum festival we have a duty to bring you the best educators from across the country to your Dumfries Drum Day experience.
