Events Series
We love nothing more than bringing Edinburgh’s creative community together and creating opportunities for freelancers to connect, collaborate, and gain the skills they need to thrive in their creative practices.
Each year, we run a variety of regular event series - each with a different focus and format - to support creatives at every stage of their journey.
Whether you're just starting out or well into your career, our events offer a welcoming space to network, gain industry insights from inspiring voices within the community, and sharpen your freelance skills. From informal meet-ups to focused workshops, each gathering strengthens Edinburgh’s creative scene, helping us build a more connected, supportive, and innovative city.
And the best part? All of our current event series are completely free and open to all! Scroll down to see which event series are running for 2025–26!
Creative Circles is our regular monthly meet up for Edinburgh's creatives. Each event invites a speaker to speak to a topic
