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

The annual Hawick Reivers Festival commemorates the rich story, culture and tradition of the Border Reivers.. While not seeking to glamorise what was undoubtedly a bloody and violent period in our history we aim to give visitors a taste of what life was like for ordinary folks in 16th century Hawick. The Reivers were a hardy, independent, resourceful and resilient people - characteristics still evident in the modern day Borderer!
The festival, which is held annually, comprises a full weekend of activities, both in and outdoors, including re-enactments, concerts, lectures, craft displays, drama, 16th century market and reivers encampment and a torchlight procession and fireworks display and offers something for all ages

We take pride in our key aims to “Explore, Explain, Experience”. , and give the audience a unique opportunity to gain an understanding of life in this difficult and challenging period of our history.
