About the Tweed Valley Forest Festival

The Tweed Valley Forest Festival has been running since 2006 and has been attracting over 5,000 people each year from far and near to celebrate the connections with the area's Halloween customs and growing forest culture.

We are based around the Tweed Valley Forest Park with the beautiful market town of Peebles at its hub. At our annual event you will find skilled crafters at our wood market, demonstrations on Tweed Green including live chainsaw carving techniques and of course the Scottish Conker Championships. Find out more from the links below.
