Leith Depot has been given a temporary reprieve as the battle to Save Leith Walk continues.
In a statement on their Facebook page, the popular music venue said: ‘Folks, on the back of a positive meeting with our landlord, we are pleased to say that we have agreed a lease extension until 31st of October.
For the time being, we continue business as usual and we will update you all when we know more.
Due to the circumstances we have nothing booked in our venue; please get in touch for any gig or event dates; depotvenue@gmail.com
Thank you all for your continued support!

A spokesman for the Save Leith Walk campaign said: “While we welcome news that Leith Depot is being allowed to stay open for a month beyond its current lease, we are disappointed that the landlord didn’t allow the other business, which were successfully trading in the red sandstone building, to remain open too.
“Nevertheless, we hope that today’s announcement is a sign of the developer’s willingness to now work with the community and secure the long-term future of this building so it can continue to be a home for locally-owned, independent shops and businesses.”
The campaigners are looking into the possibility of a community buyout and a public meeting has been organised for 9th October.
In the face of the continuing destruction of local community, we are showcasing some local talent. From political folk to performance poetry and everything in-between, together we stand up to the powers that be and say #opentheshops and #stopthedemolition. In aid of the Save Leith Walk campaign. Free entry.
Doors open 19:30 and featuring:

You may have seen a story published last week that said we that we were closing; that story has been deleted. Continue reading Leith Depot: fighting ‘tooth and nail’
This is a very important week for us, folks. We kicked off Independent Venue Week on Monday. This is our third year supporting this amazing festival and it’s the week to recognise what all of our small independent venues bring to music in our towns and cities. It’s time to celebrate the spirit of independence and the cultural importance of live music.
Horribly, this all happens against the backdrop of our fight to save our own independent venue.
We meet for the hearing at the City Chambers this Wednesday 30th at 12:30pm, we will put our case to 11 elected councillors who ultimately will make the final decision.
We hope the planning committee will make the right decision and represent and respect local democracy. (Meeting at Leith Depot at 11am so if you need a lift, DM us).
