Doors Open Day

Step inside Edinburgh Open Workshop this September for a free day of making, demonstrations and discovery as part of Doors Open Day 2026.

Explore the workshop, meet members of Edinburgh’s making community and discover the tools, techniques and facilities used for everything from woodworking and metalwork to digital fabrication and textiles.

Throughout the day, makers will demonstrate their skills and projects, while guided tours will offer a closer look at the workshop and its different making spaces.

There will be hands-on activities too, with TinkerTown inviting children to build and create using scrap materials. Edinburgh Street Stitchers will present an exhibition celebrating creative clothing repair, alongside drop-in garment repair and fabric tag-making.

Whether you’re an experienced maker or simply curious, come along, explore the workshop and discover what you could make.

Saturday 26 September, 11am–4pm. Free entry.
