Bedlam Community Festival

Celebrating Edinburgh's radical community

The EUTC’s Community Festival is a celebration of Edinburgh’s radical community. Bedlam Theatre will open its doors from 10am until 8pm over the weekend to host a range of interactive workshops, talks and panels. Come and watch a talk, join a workshop, or browse the stalls in our café to buy authentic Palestinian products and learn more about local groups campaigning for a better Edinburgh, and a better world.

All proceeds from this event go to Médecins Sans Frontières. Supported by Edinburgh Students’ Charities Appeal.
