Bird and foraging walk – Biodiversity Awareness Day

As part of Biodiversity Awareness Day organised by University of St Andrews students, we’re running a joint bird watching and foraging walk along the lovely, peaceful Lade Braes. We’ll meander along the river and through the woods, ending at East Sands if time allows. We might catch glimpses of dipper or even the sparklingly bright flash of a kingfisher, as well as possible summer migrants. At this time of year there are also lots of intriguing plants, buds and blossom that can be foraged for soups, teas and even made into syrups and cakes! All welcome, however please book your spot as places are limited. See the button on the top right of the page. Bring binoculars if you have them; we will supply a few too!

Peoples Emergency Briefing and Discussion

The People’s Emergency Briefing is a national campaign to bring about a national debate in parliament about the risks and response to British life from ongoing damage to nature and to our climate. The purpose of the Briefing is to support informed democratic discussion and ensure that national and local decision-makers, alongside the public, share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of the challenge. Following the 45-minute film, we will host a 45-minute local discussion on what this means for our community, including implications for local preparedness, resilience and long-term planning. Please come along join in the debate and prepare for action.

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.
