Community Day, East Lothian Community Hospital Grounds

A free, fun event for all ages exploring the greenspace around the Community Hospital. Try a Brompton bike and quiz Love To Ride about cycling opportunities - the hospital is next to Sustrans Route 76, the Railway walk. Dig in to our mini beach clean and hunt Minibeasts with the kids, find & share plants at the plant swap stall, make your own smoothie with pedal power, enjoy a picnic with some live music and meet lots of local organisations. It is also a chance to input to the designs for the landscape - what would you like to be able to use the space for?

Come anytime, bring a picnic and stay a while, activities for all ages.
