I do love Catstrand as a venue. The space is intimate, the people - staff and audience - are super nice and I always end up spending too much money in the lovely gift shop.

CatStrand is a multi-arts venue in New Galloway, a royal borough in the Glenkens area of Dumfries & Galloway.
A converted old school, CatStrand is a community and arts venue providing a wealth of activities and a year round arts programme. It seats 91 people at maximum capacity in a cosy auditorium and has been host to many big name international, national and regional performers – including repeat visits from Rapture Theatre.
CatStrand is a beautiful venue in idyllic Dumfries and Galloway. It was a delight to perform here, having grown up through their Youth Theatre programme, and watching many touring groups perform as an audience member. The local community was so welcoming and receptive to our production, and the audience made the whole team feel right at home. The venue, its staff and community are a real credit to the artistic life of Scotland.
