Merry Christmas!

Building graphic with snowflakesWhat a fun way to end the year. The makers’ fair was a roaring success and greatly enjoyed by makers, helpers and visitors. You can see some photos of the set up below.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made the exhibitions and events programme possible this year, as well as our residents for making Edinburgh Palette such a lively, diverse and welcoming community at St Margarets House.

We are looking forward to next year as we will be hosting more exciting creative community gatherings, workshops and events.

From all of us at Edinburgh Palette, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and an inspiring and peaceful New Year.
