At Granton Hub
Extra tickets have been released for a heritage event at Granton Hub being held later today. The programme will include an evening of talks and discussion celebrating th part women have played in the history of the area.
Art at the Gasholder
A piece of public art will be commissioned by the City of Edinburgh Council as part of the development of Granton gasholder park. In February the Council invited locally-based artists and creative practitioners to develop ideas for the new artwork to be co-created with the local community.
Locals and visitors to Granton Waterfront will be given a preview of six shortlisted designs for the new piece which are exhibited at Granton Station from Thursday 18 – Saturday 20 July.
Ideas for the selected pieces have been taken from community interests and themes connected to Granton and all of the artists have provided opportunities for the local community to participate in the design process.
Transformation
The Royal Highland Centre is a versatile space – and to prove it they have published a video showing how the largest cattle hall in Europe was transformed into a space for the election count (where there was only a whiff of disinfectant in the air…)
Now the show ground will be transformed again for Truckfest Scotland which takes place from 3 to 4 August. Audiences can look forward to revelling in car-crushing Monster Truck Action which sees the return of fan favourites Swamp Thing and Slingshot; The UK’s top-ranked freestyle motocross riders take flight in Broke FMX, with heart-stopping tricks the likes of which are usually only seen on TV; and those brave enough can even become part of the action by taking a ride in the real Slingshot truck.
In addition, Truckfest continues to offer one of the most diverse and wide-ranging looks at the haulage and trucking industry, exhibiting incredible trucks of all shapes and sizes including American rigs, customised trucks, emergency vehicles & vintage trucks. 2024 tickets are now on sale: https://www.truckfest.co.uk/truckfest-scotland/
