Kick off Hawick Reivers Festival with an afternoon learning about the Hawick Heritage Hub and then enjoy an upbeat evening at Hawick Rugby Club where local band Western End will be the headline of the opening day!

Join us for a full day of activities, from bustling market stalls and youth performances to an encampment showcasing Birds of Prey and historical reenactments. The morning procession, archaeological talks, and school games will add a dynamic mix of history and entertainment, while the torchlight procession and fireworks as night falls promises to be a spectacular close to the day.

Begin the day with a heritage-themed town walk led by Ian Lowes. Then at 4pm, join us for a high tea at Hawick Rugby Club, with a guest speaker lined up to take us through to the conclusion of another excellent festival.
