I love to see what our talented crafters produce at their monthly gatherings! Last week it was wire wrapped jewellery with a beach combing inspiration!!
The Hub@531 is a perfect space for crafting, particularly in the winter ... warm, cosy & welcoming with space to make a cuppa and tables to work at.

Get in touch if you have an idea for a craft or art group or join our Friends of the Hub to hear about our groups and events. Email [email protected]

We'd like to tell you a wee bit more about our next film screening at the Hub, part of our new monthly (first Sunday of the month) documentary season that aims to offer engaging films supported by knowledgeable and interesting guests!

On Sunday 4th October at 5pm we will be screening the visually stunning, award winning 2025 documentary that explores the health of the world's oceans and their vital importance to the future of life on Earth. Narrated by David Attenborough, this film shows the wonder and vitality of the ocean, its fragility and most importantly, our ability to protect it. Some parts of the film are challenging and while it is rated PG, we'd recommend it for older children or teenagers who are engaged in natural history and our planet.

We are very pleased to be joined by an expert in seafloor biodiversity and ecology, with a strong focus on the impact of man-made stressors on shallow and deep sea ecosystems. Professor Andrew K Sweetman is the leader of the Seafloor Ecology and Biogeochemistry research group at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, UK, based in Oban, and will lead our post screening discussions and Q&A

We will be serving drinks & popcorn, and while there is no charge for tickets, you are very welcome to make a small donation to support the Hub when you come along πŸ˜€

STARTS TOMORROW!

Walk in four different directions from the Hub@531 in Juniper Green this Autumn, maybe meet new people, have a coffee and return by bus.

Join our experienced and knowledgeable volunteer walk leaders who plan gentle walks, no more than 3 miles (2-3 hours), starting at the Hub@531 and exploring the local pathways to a convivial coffee or light lunch, returning by bus. There could be some local history chat if people are interested, or perhaps just a chance to get out into the fresh air with some company. Anyone welcome, young or old!!

We will meet indoors at the Hub@531 at 9.15am on Tuesdays September 22nd, October 6th and 20th and November 3rd.

Please book online to let us know you are coming. Book each walk individually, and ensure you feel confident in your ability to walk on paths, possibly rough in places, for 2-3 hours. Please contact us by email [email protected] if you have any questions about these walks and we'll try to help.

New for this Autumn!
πŸ“½Are you interested in documentary films that reflect the changing world around us? We will be sharing a monthly programme of documentaries here at the Hub, initially at 5pm on the first Sunday of each month. It is completely free to attend and we will even provide the popcorn 🍿!! We have picked 3 films or topics to begin with this Autumn, inspired by environmental themes that were popular during our Great Big Green Week in June, but we very much would appreciate your suggestions and ideas - what might you like to watch and share with others?

Wherever possible, we are looking to support these film screenings with some shared reflection afterwards, and we're looking for confident speakers or facilitators who can happily lead the discussion. If that's you or someone you know, please do get in

NEXT UP on Sunday 4th October we will be once again sharing the David Attenborough film, Ocean. This 2025 award winning documentary (90 mins) explores the health of the world's oceans and their vital importance to the future of life on Earth. We are delighted to be joined by Professor Andrew K Sweetman who will bring his expertise to support the post screening discussion. Prof. Sweetman is the leader of the Seafloor Ecology & Biogeochemistry research group and chair or Benthic Ecology & Biogeochemistry at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) UK

Please book your spaces to join us using the link in our events or via our online booking system https://hub531.appointedd.com, or email [email protected] if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.

This week some members of our gardening group had a visit to Dr Neil's Garden in Duddingston and their photos look inspiring, such a peaceful looking space!

Our gardening group meet monthly at the Hub@531 to share their enthusiasm for gardens and gardening over a cuppa. They often arrange to meet at other times, especially through the summer months, for visits or walks. Anyone is warmly welcome to join them!

Next meet up is at the Hub 531 Lanark Road, Juniper Green EH14 5DE on Friday 4th September between 11.30am and 1pm when the focus will be talking about seeds, bulbs and plant cuttings to swap at this time of year.
