What's on in Silverknowes

City of Edinburgh, Scotland

Share:X / TwitterFacebookWhatsApp

Silverknowes sits quietly on the edge of Edinburgh, a place where you can catch the first bus before the city really wakes up. With no big venues to shout about, the local character comes from knowing exactly which community hall is hosting a quiz and which café has the best coffee in the area. It's a spot for those who prefer a quiet walk along the water before heading back home. The real magic happens when you stop looking at screens and start asking neighbours what's on this weekend. You'll find live music drifting from one of the local pubs or a family gathering that makes everyone feel like they belong. Near Here keeps track of all these little events so you never have to wonder if there's anything worth catching nearby.

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!
