Autumn is a time of gathering, gratitude, and golden light—and what better way to celebrate the season than with a joyful wild swimming weekend in the heart of the Scottish Borders?

Based in beautiful Peebles, this Harvest Festival (of Fun!) is for anyone (over 16 years of age) who loves wild water, community connection, and the magic of nature. Over three glorious days, we’ll dip, laugh, dress up (optional), and delight in everything the Tweed and the turning season have to offer.

🌊 Wild Water Swims –

  • A Fabulous Morning Dip – Arrive, meet the tribe, have our first dip with an inflatable fun theme.

  • An Amazing night time dip  – Close the day with a dip under the night sky with twinkling lights tucked into your autumnal headgear and bottle art you have created on the river bank

Between dips we will enjoy

  • 🌿 Intrigue, History and & Life in the River Walks – Discover the history of the area, be mindful, or learn to identify nature’s seasons  and the life in and around the river on one of our guided  riverside rambles.
  • 🍂 Yummy Lunches For Hungry Tums – Enjoy a delicious, nourishing lunch

🕰️ Historical Tales & River Lore – Discover the stories of the Tweed, Peebles, and the surrounding lands

🌙 Nature’s Magic Moments – Unplug and reconnect with yourself and the elements

🎨 Creative Explorations – Tap into your artistic side when creating your autumnal headdress and bottle art.

🧘 Moments of Mindfulness & Peace – Gentle pauses woven throughout the weekend to ground, reflect, and simply be—because stillness is part of the swim too
