North Edinburgh Community Festival

We are delighted to announce the  launch of our

North Edinburgh Community  Festival 2012

 which will take place on

Saturday  29 September from 12 – 4pm.

The location, as with our previous  festivals, is Forthquarter  Park , situated behind  Edinburgh ’s Telford College. Over 5,000 people have  attended in past years, drawn from the different communities of North Edinburgh . Our aim is to provide a fun, free, family  day out for everyone to enjoy.

The Gala has enabled a wide range of  our local and community groups to raise awareness of their work as  well as gain publicity, attract volunteers, distribute information and highlight  any particular issues that they are involved in. Our event is a fantastic  opportunity to bring your work to the attention of the local community.

From the success of our previous  Festivals we have found that the best way to showcase your work is to have an  activity people can participate in. This could be directly related to what you  do or could be a bit of fun… something to make, to see or taste!

There  is no fee for organisations wanting to be part of our day, and any money raised  by you on the day will be yours to keep.

We are also holding a Festival Car Boot Sale in the car park of Edinburgh ’s Telford College from 10am until noon on the day of  the Festival. Cars have to be registered before the event and are subject to an  entrance fee of £5 per vehicle.

If you would like to have a stall at the  festival or take part in the car boot sale please complete and return the  attached proforma by 31 July. For further information please contact:
