Description

🎉 Join Edinburgh Tool Library to celebrate the opening of our new Leith Community Workshop and Repair Hub!

🥘 Pot luck

TOOL SALE 🪚

The rumours are true... we're doing another fundraising yard sale! Help us extend the life of our spare tools by giving them a new home AND support our charitable programmes with your donations. From antique tools to pick 'n' mix hardware, pre-loved power tools to basics hand tools, you'll be able to build your own tool kit and be well on your DIY way!

POT LUCK 🥘

If you have time and are able to, we'd love it if folk could bring a vegetarian/vegan dish (enough for 1-3 people) so we can have a delicious food-sharing feast! There'll be a free drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic available) for everyone on arrival, and after that it's BYOB. Please make a note of any allergens, and remember to bring a tupperware to take home any leftovers (we're not ones for waste 😉).

Suggested donation is £3 to contribute to our costs!
