The Beacon


"a meeting place at the heart of village life"

Monday - Thursday 9:30am - 12 noon
Friday 9:30am - 2pm

The Beacon is a place where you can have a cup of coffee and a freshly made scone whilst having a chat with friends. You can find out what is happening locally by obtaining information from some of the agencies and groups which operate in Chirnside and the surrounding area. It is staffed entirely by volunteers and is a non profit making venture. Children are welcome and there is a good supply of toys and books for them to enjoy. The Beacon promotes Fairtrade goods where possible and always has a good supply of food and crafts for sale.

*all our hot drinks are fairtrade products*
*free refills available for tea & coffee*

	On a Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday morning from 8am BHS pupils can enjoy a bacon roll or a hot croissant before heading off to school – all at great value prices.
