The Stove Network

The Stove Network The Stove is a community project bringing new life and vision to Dumfries High Street.

The Stove is open daily from Monday - Saturday, 9am to 5pm, including a cafe space serving a range of hot drinks, cake, soups and lunches. The Stove will be open for additional hours including evening times, for specific events and programmed activity. To find out about our current programme, visit our website: www.thestove.org/events

The Stove Network is a project to embed creativity in the structures and thinking that shape a future we all will share. The project is run by a collective of artists and other active citizens in Dumfries and Galloway. The Stove creates participatory public art events to engage the citizens of Dumfries in constructive and practical action in the town. The Stove uses a three storey building in the town centre of Dumfries as an HQ for the project and will operate 100 High Street as a social enterprise. The Stove has a membership of over 100 people ranging from café-owners and wild-food chefs to video artists and DJs. We see the arts not as something solely for an ‘arts audience’, but rather, as a vital contribution to society on all fronts. The Stove is a vehicle for practical partnerships with people and organisations working in Health, Education, Tourism, Regeneration and Environment.

Ahead of our Gaither Inn tomorrow we thought we’d share our latest blog post “You Are Here”, the story behind our Cafe sign.

As well as being a point of orientation, our latest cafe sign also reflects a much bigger picture. A town centre that has seen movement of all kinds through the centuries, welcoming all who walk along its streets.

To read the full reflection check out the blog linked in our bio.

"Football should be for everyone."

Ahead of Dumfries Pride, we are proud to screen the brand-new short documentary, We'll Go Down in History (2025).

Filmed over two years, this 25-minute film follows the highs and lows of TRUK United FC - a pioneering, grassroots trans football club creating a safe haven and breaking barriers in the sport.

Join us after the screening for an insightful live Q&A session.

Screening 7th of August at the Stove Café. Doors open 5:30pm, screening starts 7pm. Tickets available here; https://ow.ly/Mc8t50ZrXHc

Behavin? is BACK!
The Stove's regular irregular open mic night returns, and things are about to get beautifully weird. Think of it as a sugar-coated variety show packed with local talent, creative experiments, absolute stupidity, and pure brilliance. Hosted by the one and only Madame Jo!

Spoken word, live music, comedy, interpretive dance, strange inventions or defending your title as a gurning champion. If it fits on a stage (or even if it doesn't), we want it.
Behavin? is open for everyone whether you're a seasoned performer or a first timer testing the water.

Turn up on the night or sign up through the link here: https://ow.ly/jkLb50Zrq4Q
