Good Morning and Happy New Year!
Finding things to do in Edinburgh is a pain.
Events scattered across Instagram, Eventbrite, random websites and stories that disappear
Googling "things to do Edinburgh this weekend" and getting the same tired listicles from 2019
Finding out about something amazing the day after it happened
Checking 6/7 different websites just to plan one Saturday
So Keep Edinburgh Thriving have been working on a fix.
What is it:
A simple easy to use page with the best events happening each weekend. Updated every Thursday. Filter by what you're into.
The key bit:
Add it to your home screen and it works like an app. No download. No sign up. Just tap and find something to do.
Why it matters:
Edinburgh has amazing independent venues and event organisers. People want to support local. They just don't know what's on. This connects them.
What's next:
This is version one. Keep Edinburgh Thriving wants to build the best way to help people find things to do and give event organisers a platform to reach locals and visitors.
Have a look:
If you run events, there's a free submission form on the page.
If you use it this weekend, please tell me what you think.
Have a great weekend,
Nashy
