Leith Market hosts annual celebration this Saturday

IT’S a big day for Leithers old and new this Saturday as all roads lead to the historic Port for a celebration of the place and the people. On Saturday 27 April, the advice from organisers of Leith Market is: ‘Park up in the Port and pop into the market.’

Should you feel peckish, food stalls will be on hand, catering for every taste, be you meat-eater, vegetarians or vegan.

Food on offer on the day will include Scottish tattie scone wraps with various fillings from Scoff, while Knights Kitchen will bring an African flavour to proceedings.

All are coming together to showcase Leith as a busy, thriving, exciting place .

Beth Berry of Leith Market says, “A great day out for all the family, it’s important these days to come together and have fun that is not digital, so check out what’s happening in Leith Market, there’s something for you, support small local businesses before the big boys get it all.”
