Every year, in June, Yetholm holds a week-long festival. There are social events, a dance, games and - in the middle of the week - Yetholm's rideout in which a cavalcade of riders beat-the-bounds of the village. Although we are a small village, Yetholm's ride is one of the most beautiful and dramatic in the Borders - everyone is welcome to join-in or watch this and other events in Festival Week.

Cancellation of Yetholm Festival Week 2021
As the Covid-19 Pandemic continues to cause significant restrictions to our day-to-day lives and following guidance received from Scottish Borders Council and the Scottish Borders Multi Agency Safety Advisory Group, it is with great sadness and regret that we announce the cancellation of Yetholm Festival Week for a second year.
Whilst we understand that this is disappointing news, we consider this to be the only option to ensure the safety of all of our supporters.
The Committee are still working hard to be able to deliver a programme of virtual events to take place during the week (13th to 19th June) and further information on this will be made available in due course.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the virus and we offer our sincere thanks to all of those in the NHS, and all key workers, for their efforts over the past year. We also thank you all for your continued support of the Festival and we hope to see you all in 2022!
