Two year old Honor Farrell is this year’s winner of the Great Lanimer Balloon Race and £50 prize.
Her balloon was released on 15th April and the tag returned from near Eindhoven, over 600 miles from Lanark, a week later.

Lanimer Equestrian Registration
As part of the equestrian events for Lanimer Week 2017, we are requesting that all riders pre-register with The Lord Cornets’ Club.
Registration is FREE, but mandatory, so that we can ensure the continued safe running of our equestrian activities throughout Lanimer Week.
Those looking to take part in the Monday Procession or the Official Lanimer Rideout on Tuesday 6th June should return a completed form by Sunday 28th May.
