He’ll join the lively Jethart Callant Festival, celebrating the town’s heritage with music, parades, and tradition. Highlights include watching a pipe band and horse procession led by the festival’s symbolic Callant, then taking part in a centuries-old street game, hand ba’, dating back to 1704. The King will also mingle with locals in the town square, tour iconic spots like Briggsy’s and the Jedburgh Chocolate House, and witness a carpentry demo at the community-focused Jed Shed.
