Winter Open Day at Scrapstore

The Edinburgh Scrapstore is having a Winter Open Day this Sunday 29th November between 11-2pm. Come along to stock up on your crafty bits and pieces for the winter. Why not try some of the lovely scrap fabrics available to wrap presents this holiday season?

As the weather is getting colder the open day will happen inside the hub. Therefore, to maintain physical distancing we will have 30 minute time slots available to book for free. Each time slot will be limited to a certain number of people. 

The time slots available are:

  • 11.00 – 11.30
  • 11.30 – 12.00
  • 12.00 – 12.30
  • 12.30 – 13.00
  • 13.00 – 13.30
  • 13.30 – 14.00

To book a time slot, please e-mail Toni at community@grantonhub.org with your preferred time slot (and if a household or bubble how many people are attending).  Toni will then confirm with you if your chosen time slot is available.

Cash only for purchases please. We are operating a one-way system within the hub. Please use the original main entrance (white door pictured below) to enter the hub. If you are able to, please wear a face mask inside and use hand sanitiser prior to entering the hub.
