Light Up The Town – FREE EVENT
Friday 20th March | 18:30–20:3 | Hawick

Get ready for a night that glows. Join us for Light Up The Town, a free, family-friendly event celebrating cycling, creativity, and community and encouraging a more active lifestyle. The highlight of the evening is a LED Glow Ride, setting off from Wilton Park, with the meeting point and ride briefing at Elliot Band Stand.

Make your bike as lit up as possible using glowing lights of any kind—be bold, be bright! The coolest lighting design will win a prize. Riders will travel along the active travel route to Wee Haugh, where you can expect to see eye-catching lighting installations along the way.

Once at Wee Haugh, enjoy an outdoor cinema, bike maintenance sessions, come-and-try e-bikes, smoothie bikes, LED light displays powered by bikes, and a range of local street food.

Bring your bike, bring your lights, and help us light up the town—for free.
