LEITH, designers and creatives wanted!
Sketchy Beats, 208 Great Jct St, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 5LW
Sunday 23rd February at 7pm nice relaxing chill night, tea and coffee provided.
Come and get creative, share your designs and ideas and help design a mosaic habitat on the edge of the Water of Leith.
It starts with a bench.
Not much to look at, right?
But think. How many conversations start on a bench? How many ideas take shape while you’re sitting still, watching the world move?
Now picture this: 34 square metres of space, right on the edge of the Water of Leith. Underneath the Great Junction Street Bridge. A spot where wheels meet water, where stories start, and where Leith’s creativity can take a breath.
This isn’t just about skateboarding. It’s a hub. A place for community. A place for you.
Why Should You Care?
Maybe you live nearby. Maybe you design for a living. Maybe you just walk past this spot and think it could be something more.
What if you could shape it?
What would you build? A bench? A statement? A spot that speaks?
We’re giving you the chance.
What’s Happening?
The Edinburgh Wheels Project is managing a new community hub. A place where skaters, creatives, and locals connect. Not another empty space. Not a forgotten corner.
But it needs something. Your ideas. Your vision. Your take on what this space could be.
You In?
We’re running our second community event this Sunday evening. Same place—Sketchy Beats, 208 Great Junction Street, Leith EH65LW. Same time—7pm.
Coffee. Tea. People who care.
And you.
What Can You Do?
Submit your design. Bring a sketch. Or just turn up and talk.
Because what’s a community space if the community doesn’t shape it?
Think About This
What makes a space worth stopping for?
What design would make you stay a while?
What’s missing from this part of Leith?
No long forms. No red tape. Just ideas. Shared and shaped together.
Why It Matters
Skateboarding brings movement. But it’s more than that. It’s about places to pause. Spaces that invite you to sit, chat, connect.
We want a spot that belongs. That feels right.
But we need your perspective.
Here’s How You Help
- Submit Your Design: Big idea or small tweak, all ideas matter.
- Show Up: Meet others who share your vision.
- Join the Conversation: No pressure. Just potential.
See You Sunday?
We’ll be at Sketchy Beats, 7pm sharp. Bring your ideas. Bring yourself.
The bench is waiting.
Are you coming?
