This weekend the week long Corstorphine Festival begins.
Much of Corstorphine will be dressed to impress, lavished in beautiful knitted articles – yarn bombed!
Daily activities will take place at a range of venues across Corstorphine. Locals and visitors to the area can choose from events such as – family magic shows, craft sessions, guided walks and a gin night.
There will be plenty of activities for the young and young at heart including Movement & Exercise and a guided bike ride both for the over 60s.
For little ones there is the Family Treasure Hunt followed by a BBQ and the finale event will be a Family Fun Day on Saturday 3 June at St Margaret’s Park.
Activities include pony rides, pipe band and dance shows as well as firm favourites like tombola and a giant bouncy castle.
Organised by Corstorphine Youth & Community Centre and Corstorphine Public Hall, the festival  aims to bring the community together in Corstorphine and raise much needed funds for the rebuild of the Corstorphine Public Hall which was devastated by a fire in 2013.
