MugStock: A Festival of Music & Merriment
at Strathallan Castle, Friday 4th – Monday 7th August 2023
MugStock is a Festival of Music & Merriment. Our 5th instalment will take place 4th – 7th August 2023. We are musicians and music lovers who seek to produce the best and friendliest wee festival possible. MugStock is a not for profit event which favours creativity over commerciality. We have an enviable track-record for programming some of the greatest new and established musical talent from across Scotland and beyond.
MugStock took place for 4 years in its namesake Mugdock Country Park, and from Friday 4th – Monday 7th August 2023 will be reborn in the grounds of our stunning, spacious and central new venue Strathallan Castle.
Tickets are on sale now with extended payment plans providing the most affordable way possible to join our community and secure your spot at MugStock 2023.
MugStock is also engaged in refurbishing and reactivating new premises The MugShack: Cumbernauld’s old town hall. The MugShack is our headquarters and will soon be the venue for gigs, jam sessions and community projects.
We are so grateful to our extended community for helping us make the festival we all want to go to and we can’t wait to welcome you to Strathallan, and to the MugShack!
New for 2023, the music will continue into Monday afternoon, with a cool down session designed to recharge the batteries for the journey home, featuring a bonus programme of live music on Monday from 11am – 2pm, and a luxuriously decadent 5pm Monday campsite curfew. Take Monday Off!
The core MugStock team are working hard behind the scenes and we are so excited to share recent developments which will ensure that MugStock 2023 is more than worth the wait easily the best festival yet.
The sooner you buy, the less you pay!
