Stockbridge Colonies Yard Sale is on Sunday 17th May, 1pm – 5pm. You’re warmly invited to support the Yard Sale: Book Sale.

The Travelling Bookbinder has selected fifty volumes from her own library, each packaged in a special parcel, which will include postcards, a bookmark and a tea bag! Every parcel is £10 each, which goes straight to support literacy across Scotland.

“The Stockbridge Colonies Yard Sale is one of Edinburgh’s most cherished community events. Stockbridge has long been a haven for artists, musicians, poets and writers, drawn to its creative energy and sense of community, and it is consistently recognised as one of the UK’s finest independent high streets, where makers, artisans and independent traders thrive. Every pound spent with a local independent business helps strengthen the community, supporting the city’s economic stability and preserving its unique character. The Colonies Yard Sale – held each May in the gardens of the historic Victorian cottages off Glenogle Road – brings that spirit to life through handmade goods, bric-a-brac, baking, plants, and live music. Entry is free; cash is king.“

Hope to see you there, for a peruse and a natter, as you wander the cobbled streets – look out for the bunting – and please bring ten pound notes!

Every penny goes to Scottish Book Trust, transforming lives through reading.
