Every May Day Bank Holiday Saturday, Berwick-upon-Tweed bursts into colour and pageantry as horses and riders parade through the streets, celebrating the border, the community, and over 400 years of heritage.

Rooted in a Royal Charter from 1609, this is more than a procession – it’s a living link to Berwick’s past, lovingly upheld by passionate volunteers, Principal Riders, and the local community.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a rider, or simply drawn to the spectacle, there’s a place for everyone to witness the pride, tradition, and joy that make this event unforgettable.
