About Turnstile Events

Fun is always our top priority
Services

Get to know the team

Turnstile Events rose from a need to provide Edinburgh and The Lothians with fun events that everyone can enjoy.

Based in Midlothian, we’ve run local football teams, assisted charities, planned golf society days and organised many other social gatherings. It became clear that for small and large businesses and clubs, there was a need for expertise when organising fundraising events in our local area.

With over forty years in customer facing roles and operational management, bar work, and enjoying a good night out ourselves, we provide the best event planning services, all tailored to your exact requirements.
