Clare McNeill's piece on ITV Border this evening, covering last night’s Riding of the Marches.

Yesterday saw the judging of the Decorated Houses and Businesses take place.

Thanks to all those who have volunteered so far. We're still needing volunteers for Marshal duties and street collections. We particularly need marshal support for the Saturday Grand Parade on the 21st June.

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.
