  • Yester Primary Summer Fair

    We’ve got loads of things to keep everyone happy at this year’s Summer Fair!
    Pop down to grab a bargain at the plant stall, tombolas and kids toys, clothes and books, then enjoy a tasty burger and treat yourself to a cake or ice-cream, before getting rid of all that sugary energy at the bouncy castle and outside games.

    How can you help?

    • Offer just half an hour of your time to help sell things on a stall
    • Anytime Friday or Saturday morning, drop off potted plants, baking and bikes (to be sold on your behalf with a percentage going to the school)
    • COME ALONG!!! Bring your family and friends on the day – everyone is welcome! It’s a great school and community atmosphere, and loads of fun for kids and adults.

  • Pop-Up Concert Friday 2nd

    A reminder that Finlay Hay and friends from the Yehudi Menuhin School will be performing at Garvald Church on Friday, 7pm.

    Contributions of bottles of red or white wine for after-concert refreshments would be most welcome! Please drop off at Lorraine’s (The Beehive), or to Anne at Honeysuckle Cottage.

    Tickets are £5 on the door, or 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’.

     

  • Pop-up Concert Friday 2nd June

    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’.

  • Charity Fundraiser Concert 2nd June

  • Local garden open as part of Scotland’s Gardens Scheme

    Garvald Grange garden is open as part of the national open gardens scheme. The owners have transformed this garden over the last 24 years from a bare landscape into a haven for wildlife. Beehives feature in the orchard and vegetables, shrubs, roses and herbaceous plants grow in the small walled garden beside the house, under a huge walnut tree. There are two ponds with a resident population of mallard and several new woods plus mature oak coppice and other hardwoods.  For more information, see the Scotland’s Gardens website.
