Bathgate Procession & Community Festival

29/10/2026

We have only ONE MORE WEEK left of ticket sales to ensure that you and your group get the finisher tee sizes you want!

Don’t worry, any sales after the 5th will still get you a t-shirt as we always have spares! But we can’t guarantee it will be the size you want. So to avoid disappointment, get your tickets sorted now 🥳🥳

We have 9 pubs taking part this year, with a new appearance from Hopetoun Bar & Bistro 🥂 🥳

We are welcoming the other 8 pubs that took part for our festival fortnight!

It’s only four weeks until the first night of our pub crawl! 🍻🍾🍹🧃

So this is a friendly reminder, to gaurantee your preferred t-shirt, buy your tickets now 🎟️ ‼️

It’s finally Friday and what better way to kick off that Friday feeling than assembling your mates together and doing Bathgates back by popular demand pub crawl.
