We are delighted to announce the launch of our
North Edinburgh Community Festival 2012
which will take place on
Saturday 29 September from 12 – 4pm.
The location, as with our previous festivals, is Forthquarter Park , situated behind Edinburgh ’s Telford College. Over 5,000 people have attended in past years, drawn from the different communities of North Edinburgh . Our aim is to provide a fun, free, family day out for everyone to enjoy.
The Gala has enabled a wide range of our local and community groups to raise awareness of their work as well as gain publicity, attract volunteers, distribute information and highlight any particular issues that they are involved in. Our event is a fantastic opportunity to bring your work to the attention of the local community.
From the success of our previous Festivals we have found that the best way to showcase your work is to have an activity people can participate in. This could be directly related to what you do or could be a bit of fun… something to make, to see or taste!
There is no fee for organisations wanting to be part of our day, and any money raised by you on the day will be yours to keep.
We are also holding a Festival Car Boot Sale in the car park of Edinburgh ’s Telford College from 10am until noon on the day of the Festival. Cars have to be registered before the event and are subject to an entrance fee of £5 per vehicle.
If you would like to have a stall at the festival or take part in the car boot sale please complete and return the attached proforma by 31 July. For further information please contact:
