Hi Folks

Just an update for everyone visiting the stage at Boydfield Gardens over the weekend.

Last year we felt the one way system was a bit of a pain😂, but we have to do this as part of our risk assessment and insurance. Our amazing volunteers from The New Life Church will be on the entrance and exits, and last year got a wee bit of hassle. It’s not their fault folks. We just have to do it. It’s not the end of the world, it just ticks a box that needs ticking.

The entrance will be from The Main Street and exit will be onto Station Road between 12pm and 5.45pm Saturday and Sunday. At 6pm the exit will be on Main Street as Stall Holders will be leaving via Station Road with cars.

We hope you understand.

We can’t wait to see you all this weekend and we hope the weather stays dry 🙏

Scott Russell
Prestfest Committee

Well done Heathfield Primary School & EYC Thank you so much for getting involved. We can’t wait to see all your amazing posters.

A big shout out to Inspired Vision Bathrooms & Wetrooms who are sponsoring the stage Golf Inn Prestwick.

We have to manage the 65 Clubs capacity with the strictest guidelines in place to ensure safety and comply with the regulations. We would ask that you respect the folk on the door who are there to manage that. Friday is free to all but Saturday is a little different due to how it was paid for.

The Saturday gig is completely SOLD OUT TO CAPACITY so we would ask that you respect the journey that has been undertaken to get this gig on and if you’re not on the list please allow the event that to proceed without fuss at the door on an off chance.

We all love a chancer but we can’t be putting ourselves in the position of going even one over capacity if it affects putting future relationships with the 65 Club (or of booking other acts of similar stature in the future ) in jeopardy. Thanks for your understanding.

With much trepidation and even more gratitude here’s THE PRESTFEST PODCAST folks! A considerable THANK YOU to all the Businesses and Individuals who sponsored our endeavour to bring the much travelled, highly regarded , cult, troubadour , MARTIN STEPHENSON to PRESTFEST this year at The 65 Club and would like to Thank John Taylor and the club committee for giving us access for Friday & Saturday night!
