Events in Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith & Gorebridge From 11th May – 17th May 2026

Looking for events in Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith & Gorebridge this week? You can find a range of options, from opportunities for new families to connect, to community-focused fundraising rides. Whatever your plans, there’s something to make the most of your time locally. Planning ahead? Consider the Bump Buddies Antenatal Workshop at Midlothian Community Hospital, a free session for expectant parents. If you’re active outdoors, check out The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, which returns to Dalkeith Country Park to support prostate cancer research and men’s mental health. The area, historically rooted in agriculture and mining, continues to foster a strong community spirit. This week’s events reflect that focus on support and engagement. Midlothian’s past as a coal-producing region informs current priorities: community initiatives and local involvement remain central. Though collieries have all closed and disappeared without trace, the sense of collective purpose persists. Dalkeith benefits from rail access via Dalkeith station and connectivity by the A6094 road. Bonnyrigg, with its residential character, hosts community-based events. Gorebridge, served by the Border Railway, is easily accessible. You can find public transport links to Edinburgh, but be aware that peak times see high demand. On-street parking in Bonnyrigg’s village centre is limited, and parking at Dalkeith Country Park is often inadequate. Plan your journey carefully , especially during peak hours when demand for transport is high.
