  • Our fifth annual Picnic and Praise community event

    15th August 2025
    We recently spent a glorious Scottish summer afternoon hosting our fifth annual Picnic & Praise community event at Carlowrie Castle in partnership with Kirkliston Parish Church.

     

    On the 3rd of August, hundreds of guests from the local community were warmly welcomed to the vibrant gardens of Carlowrie Castle for a fulfilling and fun-filled afternoon. We listened to inspirational talks, enjoyed bouncy castles, face painting, arts and crafts, indulged in delicious food from the barbeque, were serenaded by lovely music by the Kirkliston Parish Band and we enjoyed the opportunity to come together in prayer. For the first time we celebrated the company of our community the traditional Scottish way; a ceilidh provided by the team from Refuel.

    Picnic and Praise is very close to our hearts as it’s an event for Carlowrie Castle to really engage with the local community and for the church to raise money for charity, this year proceeds were split between Missionary Partners and Refuel UK. Thank you so much to everyone who attended, we loved seeing both some familiar and new faces. We look forward to seeing you again in December for our next community event, Carols @ Carlowrie!
