Last few places left for Monday’s performance of Gaggle!

Gaggle is a joyful, non-verbal physical comedy made especially for young audiences with complex additional support needs (ASN), and their families.

Join three lighthouse keepers as they spend three days and three nights watching the sea. By day they work, watch and wait, whatever the weather. By night, lanterns are lit and things get weird, wonderful, and wild.

“We all loved the sensory experience which we could all enjoy together. It was a truly inclusive experience.” – Audience feedback

Monday 13 July, 2.30pm & 4.00pm

Community Banner: Have your say on banner slogan!

WE are getting closer to deciding the slogan for our banner!

💫 Have you voted for your favourite? 💫

If you live in the locality, pop in to our cafe and let us know your preference from the shortlist.

Better still; come along TODAY Thursday 18th – 2pm for a studio visit as well – to see how Sarah-Jane has developed the banner design from workshops with Art for Grown Ups, Royston Wardieburn Community Centre and Wester Hailes’ Art group members.

The Message – choose from:

  • We All Come From Somewhere
  • Love This Place
  • Love & Respect Make it Better
  • Let’s Create Something Together
  • We All Belong Here

The final decision will be made on Friday 19th 5pm, from the votes of well over 120 local residents and workers who’ve considered the shortlist so far – ADD YOURS BEFORE THE DEADLINE!

The banner will eventually hang in the cafe; as a welcome to everyone who comes through the doors to get involved in creating community here at North Edinburgh Arts
