Notice to Organisations and adults with children attending the Cross Kirk Inaugural Service on Sunday 15th June 2025. The Fiona Henderson School of Dance has kindly allowed Peebles Beltane Festival to use their toilet facilities.

Fancy Dress Content judging commences at 7pm on Friday 20th June, and the parade will be leaving at 7.30pm. Registration for the contest is optional - you can still just turn up on the night and take part - but this pre-registration is to assist with number management and contact details.

An early rise for the Principals this morning in Selkirk! Hope everyone in Selkirk has a fantastic common riding!

Happy Lanimers Day to everyone in Lanark! Sending our best wishes to this year’s Lord Cornet, Edward Pringle!

The committee is hopeful that as many as possible will take part in the decorated shops and houses competitions and turn the town red and white. There are two separate competitions which greatly enhance the town during Beltane. As ever, the Best Decorated Shop or Business will be awarded the Maharaj Kumar Challenge Shield, while the winners of the House Decoration will receive the Community Council Cup.

This year, the committee have introduced a new initiative, where every P3 child at the town’s Primary Schools will receive a booklet to mark their first involvement in the crowning ceremony. We hope they have a fantastic Beltane 2025.

Tonight Cornet Elect Jamie and his Lass Caitlin were joined by their supporters, together with our Beltane Queen Annie, the Warden of Neidpath Elect Christina Elder, and the Beltane Chairman Lorna Evans, enjoying representing Peebles at the West Linton Installation.
