Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Gorebridge and Mayfield

10 picks around Gorebridge and Mayfield, from 6 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Gorebridge and Mayfield

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Gorebridge and Mayfield, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Breaking of Bread2

Breaking of Bread

at Bruntsfield Evangelical Church

This service is a traditional, contemplative communion service. It is a time devoted to remembering Jesus’ death and all that it means for us. The service starts with someone sharing a thought from the Bible which is then followed by open worship, in which people in the congregation contribute Bible readings, hymns and prayers. During this service someone will give thanks for the bread and wine before we take them together.
