Many hands make light work in Muirhouse Avenue
There’s a mighty team effort taking place in Muirhouse Avenue right now. Muirhouse Centipede Project are putting the land not currently being built on to good use and are now preparing the ground for a community amphitheatre and performance area.
It’s a lot of work – it’s a lot of space! – but volunteers from Craigroyston Community High School, Tomorrow’s People, Scottish Widows, Community Action North, Scottish Gas, the Haven Project’s Dad’s Group and North Edinburgh Arts are really getting stuck in!
You’ll already see an amazing difference … and today 130 tyres will arrive for the next stage of the operation! Get involved!

Community planters wanted!
The Centipede needs you!
Muirhouse Centipede project is planning a community bulb planting weekend on 9 and 10 November and they could do with a hand – or preferably a lot of hands! The group has no less than 9000 spring bulbs to plant on Muirhouse Avenue!
In partnership with North Edinburgh Arts Centre and the City of Edinburgh Council, the Centipede Project will be holding two ‘drop-in’ (that’s people and bulbs!) sessions on Friday 9 November from 1 – 3pm and again on Saturday 10 November from 10am – 2pm.
Working with local artist Natalie Taylor, come along and help plant some of the 9,000 bulbs including snow drops and dwarf narcissi, that will emerge as a bulb ‘painting’ in the spring!
Hot drinks and biscuits will be available for everyone who joins in, and groups from Craigroyston Primary School, Oaklands School and Muirhouse Millennium Centre have already signed up to kick off the project on 9 November.
Help make Muirhouse Avenue look stunning in springtime!
