We are looking to you guys to help us, by providing us with your special Lanimer memories. These memories don’t have to just be recent, they can go all the way back to 60 years ago.

Since 2016, The Broons have been entrants in Lanark Lanimer Day and can’t wait to bring this year’s creation – based on the musical Grease, to the High Street!
Throughout the year we run a number of Fundraising activities, which benefit both ourselves and families/groups along the way.
GARDEN HIRE
Has your child been selected as a member of the Court? Take the stress away from decorating your garden and hire from us! 100% of the money raised from our Garden Hires goes towards our Lanimer entry, and characters are available to hire from as little as £10!

Are you raising money for a worthy cause? Why not let us come and run a fun evening for you?!
Forget watching recordings on a screen, this is real life Camel racing (well, wooden Camel racing). We provide everything from Tote Tickets, Costumes, Compere and most importantly – FUN!

The Lanark Lanimer Committee are delighted to announce that Catherine McClymont will be the 2025 Sashing Lady, proudly presenting Lord Cornet elect Edward Pringle with his sash of office at his installation following the Perambulation of the Marches on Monday 9th June.
Catherine McClymont has been a dedicated South Lanarkshire Councillor since 2012, where she has tirelessly served the Lanark community.
Her commitment and passion for our Royal Burgh have made a significant impact, and her selection as the Sashing Lady is a testament to her ongoing support for local traditions and celebrations.
A strong advocate for the Lanimer Celebrations within her role in the local authority, Catherine is also an active member of the Discover Lanark BID team, working to promote and enhance the charm of our historic town.

Catherine is honored to accept her role and is looking forward to embracing the celebration of Lanark’s rich history and vibrant community spirit during our 2025 Lanimer festivities.
