What's on in Colinton Mains

City of Edinburgh, Scotland

Colinton Mains sits just south of Edinburgh and feels like a quiet country retreat without being far from the city buzz. There are plenty of community halls and local clubs putting on shows that keep the neighbours entertained after work. It is a pleasant spot to head for a glass of wine or a family outing when the weather turns grey. The area has a distinct character where history meets modern life, making it easy to find a night out that suits your mood. You might catch a comedy gig at one of the local venues or join a sports match on a Saturday afternoon. Near Here knows exactly where everything is happening so you can plan your week without needing to check a dozen websites.

Wedlam

Attend a fake wedding ceremony and reception at the Bedlam Theatre to help fundraise to take the Bedlam production of Till The Birds Come Home to Turin, Italy! You can buy a Participant Ticket which means that at the door you will be given a random role to play in the wedding (ex. groom/flower girl/wedding photographer). Or, buy a Guest Ticket to attend the wedding as a guest with no specific role. Expect a lovely ceremony in the auditorium followed by a fun reception party in the Bedlam cafe! The vibes are kitschy-classy wedding nostlagia, so dress to impress!

Golf Cart Tours

The Golf Cart Tour is our most in-depth and intimate tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway grounds, showcasing restricted backstage areas, the 2.5-mile oval*, and all major IMS landmarks. This 90-minute driving tour is a uniquely personalized experience, featuring one-on-one conversation with only our most knowledgeable tour guides. Tours depart at 9:30 a.m., 12 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. Our Golf Cart Tour will take you behind the scenes to the Pagoda, Gasoline Alley, Victory Podium, the Snake Pit, and more. On days that the track is not in use, the tour also includes a lap around the legendary IMS oval with a stop at the start/finish line to kiss the bricks. Please note that the Speedway is an active racetrack and availability of the oval and “Yard of Bricks” is not guaranteed on the tour. Golf Cart Tours are available on select dates from April through October. *Note: If a Golf Cart tour is being offered the same day as the Victory Podium tours, that means a lap of the oval is NOT included due to track use. Museum admission is required to take a track tour. When clicking the “Buy Tickets” button, you must reserve your Museum time before the tour tickets will appear.
