Join us to explore the world of wild edibles in the landscape of RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond.
Join our experienced guide for this taste walk where you’ll learn the art of identifying, harvesting, and incorporating wild ingredients into your cooking. Discover wild edibles and indulge in pre-prepared, tasters made with the ingredients we encounter.
At the end of the walk we’ll enjoy an al fresco taste of a freshly prepared vegetarian curry using some of the ingredients we’ve learned about on the day. Beyond the flavours, you’ll gain valuable knowledge on the benefits and uses of these elements from nature. Take home a collection of recipes, encouraging you to recreate the experience in your own kitchen.

The Young Entrepreneurs Craft Fair is at the Burgh Yard ~ Saturday October 3rd 2026
The Young Entrepreneurs Xmas Fair is at Parish Church (small hall) on December 5th
This idea started with Lewis (12), who wanted to create a market where young people could sell products they had designed and made themselves. Since the beginning of the summer holidays, he’s been working hard to make this project a reality contacting venues, negotiating prices suitable for young entrepreneurs, and encouraging other young creators to get involved.
If you’re aged 8–18 and enjoy making things (whether it’s baking, artwork, jewellery, crochet, sewing, 3D printing or any other handmade creations) we’d love to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity to:
Sell your own creations
Meet other young entrepreneurs
Gain confidence and business experience
Showcase your talents to the local community
Every stall will be run by the young entrepreneur, accompanied by a parent or guardian. If your child would like to take part, please send us a message via the Facebook page for more information (Facebook), or email: hello@lewi3d.com

Helensburgh Music Society presents a series of concerts each year, between October and March, in the form of performances by Professional Ensembles or Solo Recitals. Our concerts, in the Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre on Clyde Street, Helensburgh, are open to everyone. An evening out listening to beautiful music, and a chance to meet friends over an interval drink. Ticket prices are low, especially the season ticket. We encourage performers to talk to the audiences, introducing both themselves and the pieces of music they are playing, expanding on the programme notes so adding to the accessibility of the music. Each year the programme we present, features a variety of performers and instrumental combinations. We also include repertoire ranging from early music to established classical works as well as modern compositions and Jazz. Performers include Scottish based musicians as well as international musicians and ensembles, all of the very highest calibre. It is also an important aim of HMS to offer opportunities to outstanding young artists, especially those based in Scotland.

Saturday & Sunday, 10-11 October | 9-5pm Rhu Village Hall
Invasive non-native species (INNS) are plants introduced beyond their natural range that can spread rapidly and damage native ecosystems. Rhododendron ponticum is one of the biggest threats to our Scottish woodlands.
With support from the Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund, RSCT is conducting work to better understand and manage INNS. As part of this, we are hosting a two-day workshop bringing together the RSPB, Argyll Countryside Trust, Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, and experienced community groups from Morvern and Raasay to share practical approaches, case studies and hands-on training in mapping, removal and treatment techniques.

An evening out listening to beautiful music, and a chance to meet friends over an interval drink. Ticket prices are low, especially the season ticket. We encourage performers to talk to the audiences, introducing both themselves and the pieces of music they are playing, expanding on the programme notes so adding to the accessibility of the music. Each year the programme we present, features a variety of performers and instrumental combinations. We also include repertoire ranging from early music to established classical works as well as modern compositions and Jazz. Performers include Scottish based musicians as well as international musicians and ensembles, all of the very highest calibre. It is also an important aim of HMS to offer opportunities to outstanding young artists, especially those based in Scotland.

The Young Entrepreneurs Xmas Fair is at Parish Church (small hall) on December 5th
This idea started with Lewis (12), who wanted to create a market where young people could sell products they had designed and made themselves. Since the beginning of the summer holidays, he’s been working hard to make this project a reality contacting venues, negotiating prices suitable for young entrepreneurs, and encouraging other young creators to get involved.
If you’re aged 8–18 and enjoy making things (whether it’s baking, artwork, jewellery, crochet, sewing, 3D printing or any other handmade creations) we’d love to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity to:
Sell your own creations Meet other young entrepreneurs Gain confidence and business experience Showcase your talents to the local community
Every stall will be run by the young entrepreneur, accompanied by a parent or guardian. If your child would like to take part, please send us a message via the Facebook page for more information (Facebook), or email: hello@lewi3d.com

Helensburgh Music Society presents a series of concerts each year, between October and March, in the form of performances by Professional Ensembles or Solo Recitals. Our concerts, in the Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre on Clyde Street, Helensburgh, are open to everyone. An evening out listening to beautiful music, and a chance to meet friends over an interval drink. Ticket prices are low, especially the season ticket. We encourage performers to talk to the audiences, introducing both themselves and the pieces of music they are playing, expanding on the programme notes so adding to the accessibility of the music. Each year the programme we present, features a variety of performers and instrumental combinations. We also include repertoire ranging from early music to established classical works as well as modern compositions and Jazz. Performers include Scottish based musicians as well as international musicians and ensembles, all of the very highest calibre. It is also an important aim of HMS to offer opportunities to outstanding young artists, especially those based in Scotland.
