Top 3 events in Lanarkshire this week

Looking for something to put in the diary this week? For the week beginning Monday 5 October, these three Lanarkshire listings bring together wedding inspiration, an acoustic session and a seasonal outing. Hamilton Town House features twice, hosting Thursday’s Wedding Show and Friday’s Acoustic Sessions, before Saturday’s Halloween activities take the spotlight at Castlebank Horticulture Centre in Lanark.

There’s a different focus to each: exhibitors and catwalk shows for anyone drawn to the wedding fair, an all-ages acoustic event, and pumpkins with a choice of spooky or less scary tunnels. Below, you’ll find the listed dates, start times, venues and prices, plus what each notice says to expect. One point worth noting before making plans: the Acoustic Sessions notice describes itself as a sample listing.

Wedding Show — Lanarkshire

Thursday 8 October brings the Wedding Show to Hamilton Town House, with a listed start time of 11:00 and admission priced at £5. Expect 60 exhibitors, catwalk shows and fizz on arrival: a welcoming mix for anyone looking for wedding inspiration. The listing describes it as a brilliant day out in Lanarkshire and says everyone is welcome. Booking is recommended, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. Doors are advertised as opening early, although no separate opening time is given; 11:00 is the start time supplied in the notice.

Acoustic Sessions — Lanarkshire

Acoustic Sessions is listed for Friday 9 October at Hamilton Town House, starting at 19:00, with tickets priced at £10. The notice also gives doors as 19:00 and says the event is open to all ages. If an acoustic gig appeals, this is the musical option among this week’s three notices. However, it is explicitly described as a sample listing, and no performers or programme details are supplied. Keep that qualification in mind: the information provided covers the venue, date, time, price and all-ages welcome rather than a detailed evening line-up.

Halloween at Castlebank!

For pumpkins and a little seasonal suspense, Halloween at Castlebank! is listed for Saturday 10 October at 10:00. The venue is Castlebank Horticulture Centre, Castlebank Park, Lanark, and the listed price is £2.50. The notice promises a spooky seasonal escape for all ages, with pumpkin picking at the centre and an eerie Tunnel of Terror for those who dare. New this year is the Tunnel of Pumpkins, described as a less scary tunnel for the little pumpkins. It’s a choice between braving the eerie route and exploring the gentler tunnel.
