Finalists every year since 2022, and winners of a 'Highly Recommended' award in the 'Best Events Venue' category in 2024, The Vault Arts Centre has done it again in 2025 with a nomination for Best Events Venue! Can we go one better this year and bring home a national award for Newton Stewart?

Best Events Venue Finalists 2025!

Now celebrating their 13th year, The Scottish Entertainment & Hospitality Awards are unique in their approach by opening voting to those that engage most with the industry - the public themselves!

Their independent voting campaign runs annually from January to the beginning of March when voting closes and they invite communities from across the country to support their favourite local and national businesses by voting for them via an online voting system.  Businesses with the most votes in each category will make the final, it’s as simple as that.

Competitors come from across Scotland to battle it out to be the very best in their chosen categories.  A truly national event, the Scottish Entertainment & Hospitality Awards attracts over 5,000 businesses to compete annually, and is growing year on year with support from the public.

The winner will be crowned at the legendary Gala Final in Glasgow on 1st May 2025.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for The Vault Arts Centre again this year.  It has been a difficult couple of years trying to keep the venue open combined with providing the best service and entertainment we can, so it's very pleasing to know that you've enjoyed what's been on offer.

Huge thanks to the Board of Trustees, staff, volunteers and the incredible musicians and performing artists who continue to deliver incredible performances in a really unique venue in Dumfries & Galloway.
