On Friday 18th April at 7.00pm we will learn who will lead this year’s Beltane Festival. Come along to the Burgh Hall to hear first who this year’s principals are.

Peebles March Riding and Beltane Queen Festival recently held their Annual General Meeting. This meeting saw the completion of Chairman Paul Spence’s five years in office, a tenure that was more difficult than many of his predecessors, given the decisions that needed to be made around the covid pandemic.

NOMINATIONS are being sought for key positions in this year’s Beltane Festival. The annual event, which takes place across the third week in June, has been celebrated since 1897 – although its roots stretch much further back in time.

Peebles March Riding and Beltane Queen Festival was saddened to learn of the passing of Miss Sheila Murray on 18th December, in her 98th year. A former teacher in the town, Sheila was Beltane Queen in 1940.
