Hawick Xmas is ran by Sian and the team at Strawberry Lemonade Events. SLE are a Hawick based corporate event management firm specialising in conferences, PR stunts and charity fundraisers. Our clients include TED and Prince Harry and we even once showed Keanu Reeves to the bathroom…

​However, we are also a social enterprise meaning we train, recruit and mentor people facing social exclusion issues such as mental health challenges to gain opportunities and employment in the events industry.

​2020 has had its challenges for all and we wanted to use our skills to help local business and retailers who could do with a boost this festive season.

​We have partnered with The Hawick Paper, The Scottish Borders Chamber of Commerce and a few others to be announced to create not just this website, but also a printed gift guide packed full of local businesses to make it super easy for you to shop local this Xmas. We will be keeping things fresh on social media and would love to hear from you with any ideas of how we can truly help support business this winter.

​The guide will be out in plenty of time for Christmas and we would love your support as we support the community- so please buy local, advertise local and share local!

​All profits raised from Hawick Xmas go directly into helping people who need extra support, not just at Christmas.
