Fountainbridge Canalside Community Trust loves to organise events that connect people to community and place they live, work or play in! We especially focus on activities that bring people together and our events often have a wellbeing, outdoor or creative focus.
Our flagship event, Edinburgh Canal Festival, is held on the third Saturday in June and has its own website.
If you have an idea for an event, get in touch and let us know!
