Leith Creative Trail

This winter, the streets of Leith come alive with the return of the Leith Creative Trail - a celebration of Leith’s vibrant artistic spirit, featuring markets, open studios, exhibitions, workshops, talks, and pop-up events across the neighbourhood.

Explore a dynamic trail of more than 20 creative venues, from hidden studios to local institutions, each brimming with imagination, skill, and community energy. The Leith Creative Trail brings together artists, makers, and creative businesses to showcase the rich cultural tapestry that makes Leith one of Scotland’s most exciting creative hubs.

Visitors are encouraged to “bag as many venues as possible”, meeting artists, browsing handmade goods, and enjoying the buzz of this week-long celebration.

A beautifully illustrated map and directory - designed by Cat Gordon Illustrations and Zoe Brown Art - highlights all participating venues. These are available in print from venues along the trail, or can be downloaded from the Edinburgh Open Workshop website.
