27 NOVEMBER

Note for your diary - Friday, 27 November is the next pub night in the village hall and we're going to try something a bit different and have a bingo night. To play bingo, it would be £5 for 5 games with 2 cards!

SPRING - DATE TBA

The annual clean-up of the roadside verges and the riverside walk.

Not a glamorous event, but certainly necessary and a fun day out for all that give up their time to keep the village and the roadside verges free of litter.

All equipment is provided by the BCDT.

31 DECEMBER OF COURSE!

There will be a follow-up to last year's successful Hogmanay Party in the village hall. It will start at 9.00 pm and go on until you drop!!

All we ask is that you bring a plate of food which can be shared and your own liquid refreshment

DATE TBA

The annual 'Riding of the Boundaries' symbolises the practice of patrolling the town borders to protect against reiving throughout the 13th and 14th centuries. Many of the festivals also commemorate the men who gave their lives in the battle of Flodden in 1513.

The Riding’s visit to Birgham is one of the most anticipated village events, when the horses and riders early evening visit. In the past heralded by pipers and a contingent from the Coldstream Guards. Their visit is celebrated in the field opposite the pub.

Come and join us and help keep this great Borders tradition alive.

NO EVENT IN 2026

Alan is taking a break in 2026! It’s hoped that in 2027 Alan Livingstone will once again reintroduce his legendary Halloween ‘guided Ghost Walk” around the spookiest corners and paths of the village.

Scary and fun in equal measures - suitable for young and old alike.
