  • Pop-up Concert Friday 2nd June

    Join us for a summer night of wonderful music in the beautiful and historic setting of Garvald Church. Students from the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin School, including Garvald’s very own Finlay Hay, will perform a variety of pieces.

    Tickets will be priced at £5 on the door, or are available to purchase ahead of time from Caroline McGregor. All proceeds will go to two charities doing wonderful work to support refugees in East Lothian: ‘East Lothian Aid for Refugees’, and ‘East Lothian Welcomes Refugees’.

    Refreshments will be served afterwards, including a tasty variety of home baking.
    We hope to see you there!

  • Garvald Fun Day

    We’re looking at holding a Fun Day in Garvald Park on Saturday 12 August from 1.00pm to 4.00pm. What we need to know is:

    1. Are you keen for this to happen?
    2. Would anyone like to help (manning stalls, organise events etc)?
    3. We’re meeting up at the pub at 3.30pm on Sunday 30 April to have a quick chat & plan out what we would want the Fun Day to look like – would you like to be involved in the planning?

    Feedback would be great – if you would love the Fun Day to be held but are not able to help then that’s absolutely fine – but we’d love your opinion. If you’re happy to help for an hour or two on a stall then that would be fantastic – please let us know. And if you want to help with the organising then please come along to the pub next Sunday.

    This is a great opportunity for the village to get together and have lots of fun. I hope we are able to make it happen. Please contact Penny via the contact form on the website or by telephone – 07724243263 – or we’ll see you in the pub next Sunday!
