It was the residence of Scotland's first gunpowder mill, at the Gore Water, that began running in 1794. Gorebridge has an annual Gala Day which constantly happens on the third Saturday in June. This is much like a town fair, with rides and also video games. The gala day has a tradition of selecting a Town King and also Queen from the primary schools. Gorebridge has 4 primary schools, Gorebridge Primary, Stobhill Key, St Andrews RC Primary and Gore Glen Key. Greenhall Secondary school made use of to serve the community yet shut down in 1994. Regional children currently attend close-by Newbattle Community Senior high school, Lasswade Secondary School or St David's RC High School. Gorebridge's local football group is juniors Arniston Rangers who play house games at Newbyres Park. On 6 September 2015 Gorebridge saw the return of the Waverley Line with a brand-new station built on the site of the original terminal.
