Borland Ceilidh Band to Perform on the Main Stage at Mauchline Holy Fair 2025
We are delighted to announce another fantastic addition to the Mauchline Holy Fair 2025 Main Stage line-up: the renowned Borland Ceilidh Band.
Known for their high-energy performances that are sure to have audiences clapping and dancing along, the band brings a vibrant and authentic ceilidh experience wherever they go.
Hailing from Kilmarnock and Irvine, the Borland Ceilidh Band has appeared on ITV’s Loose Women, This Morning, STV’s Riverside Show, and performed at major events including TRNSMT, Scotland’s largest music festival. They have rightfully earned their reputation as one of Scotland’s musical and cultural gems.

The Burns Bachelors Performers Return to the Holy Fair 2025
We are thrilled to confirm that the Burns Bachelors Performers will once again be joining us for the full day at Mauchline Holy Fair 2025, hosting the much-loved Nanse Tinnock Stage.
This talented group of local writers and performers are devoted to celebrating the life, poetry, and music of Robert Burns. Meeting regularly at the historic Bachelors’ Club, they are well-known for breathing new life into Burns’ work while also crafting original pieces inspired by the Bard’s timeless style.
We’re delighted to welcome them back for another year of lively performances, creative energy, and unforgettable entertainment.
Main Stage Announcement – Dolly B to Perform at Mauchline Holy Fair 2025
In celebration of International Women’s Day, we are proud to announce the first act for our 2025 main stage: the incredible Dolly B.
We are thrilled to welcome such a talented female performer to this year’s line-up. Dolly B is the stage persona of Ayrshire’s own Beatrice Clark, whose lifelong admiration for Dolly Parton began in childhood, with her family home filled with the sound of Dolly’s iconic music.
In addition to her love for country music, Beatrice is a passionate admirer of Robert Burns, making her performance in Mauchline—a town so closely associated with the Bard—a particularly special occasion. She even wonders what Burns himself would make of it all!
Join us from 11am on Saturday 31st May as the festivities begin. Keep an eye on our channels over the coming weeks as we reveal more exciting acts set to take the stage.
