What's on in Broomieknowe

Midlothian, Scotland

Share:X / TwitterFacebookWhatsApp

From farmers' markets to craft fairs that'll actually have something you want to buy — Broomieknowe knows how to put on a do. We're talking proper local events here: quiz nights that get genuinely competitive, coffee mornings that serve actual decent coffee (not the instant stuff), and village fêtes that are surprisingly well organised. No stadium concerts or festivals that cost a week's wages, just the good stuff happening in village halls, community centres, and that one pub everyone knows about. We're here to make sure you don't miss any of it.

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.

Regenerative Practice In Community Gardens (Course)

When: This course comprises 6 sessions on Wednesday mornings from 10:30 – 13:30 in January and February. January 21st January 28th February 4th February 11th February 18th February 25th About the Course: Join us for six winter mornings at the cosy Salisbury Centre where we’ll slow down, listen, and learn on this 6-week journey for community gardeners to grow their skills, share their wisdom, and deepen their roots together. We believe the most powerful knowledge grows from the ground up, rooted in the shared experiences of those who do it every day. This unique six-week course is designed to strengthen the heart of your work through a collaborative learning experience. You’ll be invited to share stories, tackle challenges, and co-create best practices for leadership, participation, and connection in community green spaces. What to Expect: Each session is built around the group’s real-world experiences, questions, and knowledge. Your insights drive our exploration. We’ll apply ecological principles not only to the soil but to our groups and ourselves. Meet others who are passionate about community gardens—from seasoned organizers to budding volunteers—all committed to growing together. Blend hands-on wisdom with thoughtful dialogue. Leave with actionable ideas and a refreshed perspective. While most of the course will take place inside, we may also venture into the Salisbury Centre’s own Permaculture Community Garden to gain inspiration and get outdoors.
