Gowaan Kids Fest '25

The first ever Gowaan Kids Fest took over Wilton Lodge Park, Hawick for a full day of bikes, fun and laughter! 

Event Highlights:

Skills Area

The skills area was packed with ramps and obstacles where kids could test their balance, tackle challenges, and discover what they could really do on two wheels. It was all about building confidence, having fun, and maybe even showing off a new skill or two!

Treasure Hunt

Families explored Wilton Lodge Park on a fun-filled sticker hunt, collecting stickers along the way and trading them in for a prize at the finish. It was a brilliant way to get everyone moving and smiling!

Pro Skills Display

Everyone was amazed as pro riderElliott Heapjoined us to show off his incredible bike skills! From jaw-dropping tricks to smooth style, Elliott put on an epic display that inspired kids (and parents!) to get out and ride.

Arts & Crafts

Our arts and crafts corner gave kids the chance to get creative, designing their own number plates to take home. It was a lovely way to celebrate their efforts on the bike and add a personal touch to the day’s adventures.

Jam Sessions

The jam sessions brought loads of energy and laughter, with kids joining in on the long jump competition and the bike limbo challenge. It was all about having fun, cheering each other on, and seeing just how far (or low!) everyone could go!

Free Bike Servicing

Riders brought their bikes along for a check-up with Teri Bikes, who offered free bike servicing throughout the day.
