The free event will demonstrate affordable, effective and fun ways to get your recommended five-a-day.

Enjoy caapes, juices and smoothies and there’s chocolate sampling and making too. Pilton Community Health Project will help you learn how to reduce your sugar intake and Oaklands School will also be there selling craft items and delicious home made jam! And if that’s not enough, there’s a chillout room with storytelling sessions, a graffiti wall to get your creative juices flowing and an opportunity to turn plastic waste into art!

The event is free but admission is by ticket only. For more information about the day and details on how to reserve your place, contact North Edinburgh Arts on 0131 315 2151 or email: admin@northedinburgharts.co.uk

starbank park picnic

It’s Cherry Blossom time and the fine Friends of Starbank Park – never ones to miss the chance of a party – have laid on a celebration on Saturday 7th May.  All proceeds will go towards the Hans Christian Andersen Nature Trail.  So why not go along a join in the fun for a good cause as East meets West?

And in case you want to sharpen up your linguistic skills:

花見 is the Japanese for Hanami

The first character 花 meaning flower
And the second character 見 meaning to look or see
Literally ‘flower gazing’

Happy Hanami!
