What: Spring Disco Soup – a family-friendly food and music event
When: Saturday 25th March 12-6pm
Where: Saughton Gardens, Balgreen Road, Edinburgh
Who: Run by Food Sharing Edinburgh as part of the Shrub Swap & Reuse Hub, in conjunction with Disco Soup.
Celebrate Spring with Disco Soup!
Disco Soup Edinburgh is making its second appearance at Edinburgh’s Saughton Gardens for a special spring edition of Disco Soup! The event will bring together the local community as they chop and cook locally sourced vegetables into delicious soup and eat together to the sound of some disco beats.
Organised by Food Sharing Edinburgh, a food waste prevention project run by the Shrub Swap and Reuse Hub, the event aims to raise awareness of food waste by chopping, cooking and eating veggies which would otherwise have gone to waste.
There will be a range of children’s activities and workshops as well as live music. Everyone is welcome and the event particularly welcomes refugees and people who have made Edinburgh their home. And the whole event is free!
Participants are encouraged to bring knives, chopping boards, spices and bowls as well as tupperware for leftovers. Volunteers are very welcome.

And on 29 March there is a community gathering at The Methodist Church Hall.
Join the Shrub for an afternoon of food, live music, activities and discussions on how we can work together as a community to develop a vision for a Zero Waste Town in central Edinburgh!
The Shrub has been awarded funding from Zero Waste Scotland to test out some really exciting ideas that could transform our community and help us achieve our vision of a world without waste.
If the testing of our ideas is successful, we could receive £100,000 per year for the next three years. That funding will allow us to make South Central Edinburgh into a “Zero Waste Town” where waste is a valuable resource and is used and reused in innovative ways to reduce how much is landfilled.
To do this, we need your help! We want to make sure our ideas for a Zero Waste Town meet the needs of the local community.
