Lifestyle aparthotel, Native has announced an exciting programme of fun creative events in the run up to Christmas to kickstart the feelgood in your festivities in the Capital.
Collaborating with local neighbourhood heroes including floral ateliers, Olly & Ivy and book store, Lighthouse, Native Edinburgh will host a jam-packed programme of interactive events in its speakeasy lounge Counter.
From laid back Lounge Listening sessions where the best contemporary music is played on vinyl to wreath making masterclasses with a local Edinburgh florist, Counter will be the perfect place to unwind and get creative in Edinburgh this busy festive season.
Their bustling festive schedule will see them partner with luxury floral designers Ollie & Ivy, Counter to host two elegant wreath making workshops on the 8th of December and 15th of December from 7pm.
Trained in Paris and specialising in contemporary floral arrangements, Ollie & Ivy will teach guests how to expertly make striking festive wreaths. Using locally sourced foliage and organic materials, guests will learn how to create contemporary rustic Christmas wreaths that they will be proud to hang in their homes. Limited tickets include all materials to make the wreath in this two hour class.
Counter is also introducing a new monthly social club with the aim to bring creatives together in the local community. Their first meetup takes place this evening (November 30th) with curated readings and speakers from Lighthouse Books and is free to attend. Join them in Native from 7pm.
Igniting creative imagination, don’t miss the boutique hotel’s debut Artist in Residence series featuring Stew Bryden – on display in Native Edinburgh until the end of the year. This new creative collaboration sees ten striking pieces shot by Bryden – famed for fashion and celebrity portraits, and displayed in Counter by Native Edinburgh for all to enjoy.
Lsst night Counter hosted a ‘Lounge Listening’ session dedicated to South-London-born singer-songwriter Tom Misch, who performed his latest release ‘Quarantine Sessions’, an eight-track album composed of instrumental jam sessions, three originals and a diverse assortment of covers ranging from Solange to Nirvana.
To make the working day easier, Counter’s popular ‘Coffee and Co-Work’ will continue every Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm in December offering guests a comfortable home from home.
Offering fast wifi and a luxurious selection of food and drink, 9-5ers can have a change of scene at Counter, swapping working from home for working from a luxury apart hotel. To sweeten the deal, Counter is offering free coffee to guests when they purchase breakfast.
