Gorebridge Community Development Trust

The Gorebridge Beacon is a flexible community event venue in Gorebridge, Midlothian, operated by Gorebridge Community Development Trust. Its spaces are available for private hire, community activities, workshops, training sessions, conferences, celebrations and public events.

The main Beacon Hall is a bright, adaptable space that can be hired as one large room or divided into smaller sections. This makes it suitable for different event formats, from intimate meetings and classes to larger social gatherings, birthday parties, children’s parties, wedding receptions and meals. The hall can accommodate up to 100 people when used as a whole, with smaller sections available for more compact events.

Organisers can also hire the Creative Space, which includes a self-contained kitchen and works well for craft sessions, maker activities, workshops, breakout areas, catering or cloakroom facilities. For larger occasions, whole-building hire provides access to the hall, creative space, café area and kitchen, with capacity for events of up to 300 guests.

Facilities include Wi-Fi, a projector and screen, flipcharts, printing and scanning, chilled water and free parking. Catering can be arranged through the on-site Beacon Community Café, offering a practical option for refreshments, lunches and larger event catering requirements.

The venue is well suited to organisers looking for an accessible and adaptable location for business events, training, family celebrations, community consultations, public meetings and private functions. Its community-focused setting, flexible room layouts and range of in-house facilities make it a useful event space close to Edinburgh and the wider Midlothian area.
