Going to Edinburgh Pride but don't have any fun flags or banners yet? Come along to our Pride craft session and make your own banner for Pride. Supplies will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own if you wish. Free and open to all.
Saturday 22nd June from 12.30pm, meet at the Scottish Parliament:
Edinburgh Pride
Join a group of Napier and ENSA students and staff at Edinburgh Pride. Whether you're coming with friends and just want to pick up some free pride badges and get your face painted, or you're alone and looking to meet other Napier students to spend the afternoon with; come find us! We will be meeting at the Scottish Parliament, where the Pride March begins, wearing ENSA and Napier merch and holding a Napier banner, so you can't miss us :)
The official march starts at 1pm, with meetups being from 12.30pm. Napier will be there from 12pm (noon), so you're welcome to come earlier to meet more people.

Edinburgh Festival Crawl
Edinburgh is home to one of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture in the world, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Every August, artists and performers present shows on hundreds of stages all over the city. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, and cafes.
If you would like to experience the Fringe but don't know where to start or who to go with, join us on 13 August at 2pm for a free crawl of Edinburgh Festival shows! We will aim to go to 2-3 comedy shows that are all free and walkable from our meeting point, Bristo Square.
Some venues might have age restrictions, so please bring ID.
Free ticket required - these will be available nearer the time.
