Our Annual Patrons Appeal is now live

Every year we are heavily indebted to our Annual Patrons who generously support us in the delivery of the festival.

This year more than ever, public support is essential in Peebles Beltane Festival continuing. Since Covid, our expenses have rocketed and the last two years have seen the festival make five-figure losses.

If you would like to help us by becoming an Annual Patron, please contact us by private messaging our Facebook page or email us using the button below, and we will send you a Patron’s pack.

Thank you.

Item Returns

We hope everyone had a great Beltane. It was great to see the town turned red and white and the work that had gone into house decorations. The Beltane hut will be open this Thursday 26th and Friday 27th June, from 6:30pm until 9pm, for returns.

UPDATED: Crowning Ceremony – Warm Weather Decision

After careful consideration, following the slightly cooler start to the day, and the predicted cloud cover in the next couple of hours, the decision has been taken to revert to the church steps for the ceremony. Suitable actions will be taken to encourage children to sit whenever they can and a water will be available for all of them.
