SUMMARY:Art in Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:This in-person event is the perfect opportunity to unwind\, connect with nature\, and unleash your inner artist. Don’t miss out on this unique experience! \nJoin me for a relaxing and creative Art in Nature Walk. Beginning at Leith Community Croft\, we will walk around the Restalrig Railway. Along the way you are invited to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as we explore this local greenspace with fresh eyes. \nWhile walking we will collect photos of anything that you think will inspire you\, and interesting natural objects\, which you can then use to create your own masterpiece. \nThe walk itself will be at an easy pace\, and will take around 45 minutes. The surface is paved\, apart from in the community croft itself\, which is hard packed dirt/gravel and grass. There are no steps\, but there are a couple of short slopes. You can view the route and the elevation here: https://www.mapmywalk.com/routes/view/6182199976/ \nArt materials will be provided\, but feel free to bring your own nature friendly art supplies if you prefer. \nPlease dress appropriately for the weather on the day as this is an outdoor event. \nThe Croft cafe should be open\, but you are also welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks\, or even picnic lunch for before/after the event (there are picnic tables in the croft). \nThis event is suitable for all ages\, however under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult. \n  \nPay what you can/donation ticket.

SUMMARY:Paint Elph : The Unofficial Leith Street Art Festival at Quality Yard
DESCRIPTION:Originally titled ‘Paint Leith’ the title of this event has been updated in memory of Elph\, who sadly passed away recently. A fantastic painter and illustrator\, many locals will be familiar with his work without even realising it as he painted or contributed to several of the murals around Leith and Edinburgh\, including many pieces in Quality Yard over the years\, the Japanese inspired figure on the corner of what was Lovella (now Purisha Hairdressing) and the junction box outside the Woodland bar. It is likely you will have seen his work in passing. He will be hugely missed by the Street Art community. Expect many of the artists to pay tribute to him and his many styles of painting in their work over the weekend. \n  \nNestled just steps from The Shore\, Quality Yard is an 18th-century walled sanctuary being reimagined as a 360° open-air gallery. Here\, over 20 local and international artists will paint more than 50 metres of murals across six courtyard walls. This immersive experience is a living celebration of Leith’s urban creativity\, blending history with the vibrant energy of modern street art. \n  \nSaturday 13th June 2-6pm \nSunday 14th June 12-4pm

SUMMARY:Taylors Funfair - Children with Additional Needs Afternoon
DESCRIPTION:If you have a child with additional needs\, bring them along for all the fun of the fair in a family friendly\, quieter atmosphere before the fair opens to the public. Rides are adjusted according to the needs of the riders – speak to the staff about slowing the speed\, lowering the music volume\, or stopping flashing lights and they will do their best to accommodate the needs of your child. \nWe are hugely grateful to Taylors of Edinburgh who have partnered with us for many years to provide this opportunity to allow children with additional needs and their families/carers to experience the funfair in a way that suits them.

SUMMARY:Leith Festival Pageant
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that this year the Leith Festival Pageant will lead into our community Tattoo! \nBeginning at Taylor Gardens and parading through the heart of Leith\, before ending at Malmaison Plaza this year’s pageant is a smorgasbord of musicians\, dancers\, community organisations and more! Not one to be missed. \nThe Pageant is a celebration of all things Leith\, going back to the very roots of Leith Festival. The pageant began in 1907\, as a way to raise funds for Leith Hospital. In the days before the NHS was formed the hospital relied on donations and private funding as well as paying patients. \nOver the years the pageant has taken various forms\, and as well as local marching bands\, and community groups traditionally has involved local businesses in the days when factories and trades had social clubs and groups\, they would often dress up a float and participate. \nNowadays\, our pageant is float free\, but we welcome bikes\, buggies and pedestrians\, and we still have our best dressed competition! \nSo come along for an afternoon of entertainment and fun\, and help us finish off Leith Festival 2025 in style. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Rogues\, Pirates and Counterfeit Witchprickers (well\, one...)
DESCRIPTION:Hanging pirates\, starving Frenchmen\, runaway bankers and a girl in boys clothing with an eye for a witch – and a needle.

SUMMARY:Brian Pendreigh's Leith Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Consistently rated one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world by Time Out magazine\, Edinburgh’s picturesque harbor has a rich history\, from Plague Times and the romantic Mary Queen of Scots to the cult novel Trainspotting and the luxury yacht in the one where Charles and Di spent their honeymoon. .\nIt is also the birthplace of the modern sport of golf. Sound the horn… no\, not St Andrews… Leith Links. \nLeith is a short tram ride from Princes Street. (Buy your £2 ticket by card at the machine before you board). The Shore tram stop is just a few minutes walk from our departure point at Leith Community Croft. \nLearn the sinister truth about two mysterious little hills in Leith Links… and the terrible secret hidden beneath the cricket and football pitches. \nNow officially part of Edinburgh\, there was a time in the 16th century when Leith was the de facto capital of Scotland. Then there was the Siege of Leith in which the Scots and French fought the English and\, uh\, some other Scots. And a few years later there was the war between Edinburgh and Leith. \nGentrification and deprivation coexist just a stone’s throw from the sea and the banks of the Water of Leith.\nThe Shore offers a great opportunity for photographers on a sunny day. And\, as the Proclaimers song goes\, it’s always sunny in Leith (except the day I took most of the photos). If you don’t know it\, look it up and hum it as you walk around the harbor with an award-winning writer\, an officially licensed guide\, and a local resident. (That’s me\, not three different people\, by the way.)\nTwo hours. Unticketed. Tips gratefully received.
