What's on in Sciennes

City of Edinburgh, Scotland

Sciennes sits quietly in the shadow of Arthur's Seat and is always buzzing with local life despite its modest size. The area holds a quiet charm that makes it perfect for a family walk or just sitting on a bench watching the world go by. It feels like a proper neighbourhood where everyone knows your name and the shops have been there for decades. There are plenty of markets nearby if you fancy a browse, and the library often has something interesting going on for book lovers. Even on a rainy afternoon, there is usually a reason to stop in and chat with someone who lives around the corner. Near Here keeps all the local notices in one place so you don't have to hunt them down on your own.

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.
