Harvest Festival Wild Swimming Weekend (Saturday Only Tickets)

date_range 10th October, 2026

Every effort has been made to verify the accuracy of the event information but we recommend contacting the event organisers before attending.

Join us for our second ever soul-soothing, wellness focused weekend of wild swims, laughter, moments of peace and seasonal magic in the River Tweed at the foot of Neidpath Castle.

Autumn is a time of gathering, gratitude, and golden light—and what better way to celebrate the season than with a joyful wild swimming  in the heart of the Scottish Borders?

Based in beautiful Peebles, this Harvest Festival (of Fun!) is for anyone (over 16 years of age) who loves wild water, community connection, and the magic of nature. Over three glorious days, we’ll dip, laugh, dress up (optional), and delight in everything the Tweed and the turning season have to offer.

Saturday Day Ticket: The Welcome Dip

Kick off your weekend the wild way…

Saturday is your gentle glide into the magic of the Autumn Wild Swim Festival.

Settle in with a warm welcome and scrumptious lunch
Create your own wild-inspired art
And enjoy an afternoon swim with a difference - we'll be having inflatable fun & brightly coloured headgear.
