No acts are confirmed yet for 2011. As well as the the music Wickerfans have enjoyed grass sledging, fun fairs, dance lessons, headphone disco, movie screenings, wood carving and even ice skating at previous festivals.

Highlight of the weekend is always the burning of the vast Wickerman sculpture whose presence is a nod to the cult film which was filmed in the area. Each Wickerman Festival comes to a climax with the torching of this specially-commissioned work of art creating the most memorable image of the whole festival calendar.

Helen Chalmers, festival coordinator, said: "With every year the Wickerman Festival has grown in stature, but we have maintained our core spirit by focusing on what we set out to do in the first year, which is to create a community music event that everyone can enjoy."
