What's on in Mount Melville

Fife, Scotland

Share:

Mount Melville sits quietly in Fife with a character that feels like it stepped straight out of a gentle seaside storybook. There are no big venues to shout about, but the local community halls and village greens always manage to pull together something proper for a Saturday afternoon. It is a place where you can find your neighbours rather than just scrolling past them on a screen. The town has that old-school charm where everyone knows who runs the shop next door and what's going on at the weekly market. Even if the programme changes from week to week, there is usually a fair bit of good cheer happening somewhere within walking distance. You don't need to hunt for entertainment here; it just tends to find you while you are having your tea.

St Andrews Repair & Advice Cafe

St Andrews Repair & Advice Cafe

Our wonderful team of volunteers can help you fix clothes, jewellery, chipped ceramics, and electrical items – all for FREE! Sharing resources, including skills and knowledge, sits at the heart of every strong community. As well as keeping your belongings out of the waste stream, you can also learn a little more about how every day objects are often quite easily fixed. We live in a highly throwaway society but it doesn’t have to be that way. There is also plenty of sewing equipment, including a machine, for you to use too, if you would like to have go yourself. And there will be FREE refreshments for you to enjoy and lovely like-minded people from across the community for you to meet. We also have a Linux specialist available to advise. Do you have an old laptop (from around 2014-2018)? Did you know that Microsoft Windows ceased to be supported on these models as of October 2025? Come and talk to Thomas, a computer specialist at the University, about how to install a free alternative operating system called Linux so you can keep using your laptop. They will explain how to ensure you keep all your data safe in the process, and they can also advise on sourcing second-hand laptops to install Linux on. More info here. We will also have a special sock and jumper darning skillshare corner so you cna come and learn how to do this yourself! We are keen to promote upcycling, where items destined for the bin have been repurposed and transformed.

We are hosting another Mini Give Away from our storage container in the car park opposite Agnes Blackadder Hall (NOT at our Reuse store).
