YETHOLM FESTIVAL
Every year, in June the village holds a festival week to celebrate the village and the people within.
Two respectable young adults are chosen to represent the village during its own festival and others around the Scottish Borders. They are named from the gypsy language, Bari Gadgi (best boy) and Bari Manushi (best girl).

Zoe represented the village in 2012.​

LOCAL WALKS
St. Cuthbert’s Way offers 62.5 miles (100km) of fantastic, varied walking suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
Most people walk St. Cuthbert’s Way from west to east, Melrose to Lindisfarne, which chronologically fits in with St. Cuthbert’s life, but more importantly means the wind is usually behind you, and Holy Island lures you to the coast. However St. Cuthbert’s Way is signed and waymarked in both directions, so it’s entirely up to you which direction you choose to walk the route.
After reaching the highest point (1,207 ft) on Wideopen hill and passing the half way point you will drop into the village of Town Yetholm, where you can walk straight into the village via the road and visit us in the centre of the village. Itineraries which may assist you planning your walk may be found on the St Cuthbert's way site.
The Pennine Way National Trail is a 268 mile (429 Km) walking route from Edale in Derbyshire to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders. It crosses some of the finest upland landscapes in England, from the Peak District, through the Yorkshire Dales, across the North Pennines and over Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland to the Cheviots.
It was the very first National Trail, opened on 24th April 1965, and remains one of the most famous.
