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.

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.

OCTOBER 31

After a break in 2023, Alan Livingstone will 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.

Check out the BCDT Facebook page and the Latest News section of this website closer to the date for details of where and when to meet up.

DATE TBA

The annual Birgham Remembrance Sunday short service will be held at the Memorial Cairn (beside the park) on Remembrance Sunday.
