Festival Program

The wee bus is home / it’s no wonder the sun is out bright and shiny with hardly a cloud or drop of rain in sight.

The Bothwell Bicentennial Festival organising team have been hard at work to bring you a wonderful festival to nudge your sense of time.

Program here, plan your weekend!

The committee have aimed to have a mix of guided and self-guided tours as well as workshops; some free and some requiring guests to purchase, covering all aspects of the history of Bothwell.

Attendees are encouraged to embrace the “romanticism of the 1820’s period” and dress the part.

The event will run over two days, to reduce double ups in the program and allow you to attend more of the program. A speaker’s program and a human library have both been included, with the speaker’s program hosted by Jane Longhurst.
