What's on in Loanhead

Midlothian, Scotland

Quiz nights where the debate over question 7 lasts longer than the quiz itself. Coffee mornings that turn into proper natter sessions. Craft fairs where you'll actually find something worth buying instead of the usual tat. That's Loanhead, and we've got it all listed — from book clubs to bingo, farmers' markets to film screenings. The sort of events where you'll probably bump into someone you know, which is either brilliant or your worst nightmare depending on whether you've been dodging Dave from the parish council.

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.
