East Lothian Current 🌊 23rd October 2024
Halloween Hounds, Creative Meetups and Solar Walks
🍂 This Weekend
🥦 Want to eat more sustainably? Head to Haddington Farmers Market this Saturday to stock up on local produce for your weekend.
🎃 Those looking for an early dose of spooky-season fun should head to Newhailes House & Gardens for the Halloween Hounds Parade. You could also explore the Haunted Halloween Trail, but if it doesn’t include a Jack Russell dressed as a pumpkin then honestly why would you bother.
👶🏼 One for parents here - Pregnant then Brewed are heading to Aberlady this Saturday. They want to talk about parenting challenges in East Lothian help families campaign for change.
🗓️ Coming Up
🇱🇰 Sri Lankan Delights have released dates for three pop up supper clubs. Catch them at Steampunk Coffee in North Berwick on Friday 1st November, Thursday 5th December or Saturday 28th December. Full details here.
🎨 Creatives looking to build their community should get these monthly meetups in the diary - Arty Cuppa & Cake at Smeaton.
🗞️ Local News
🎪 This is interesting - an independent report has found that Fringe by the Sea 2024 attracted over 86,000 visitors and generated almost £10million for the local economy. You can read the full breakdown here.
💭 Whitekirk Hill has been bought by holiday resort company Landal Greenparks UK. It’s not clear yet if this will affect local access to the cafe, gym facilities and play area.
🪐 Want to move faster than the speed of light (kind of)? The Dirleton Solar Walk is now open and ready to explore - a walkable and wheelable scale model of all the planets in our solar system. Find out more about the project here.
