What to do this weekend: 19-20 Dec

ALL WEEKEND

The Tartan Blanket Co. Pop-Up

Last minute shopping? A tartan scarf would make a fail safe Christmas present for your loved ones. Our favourite is the Black Watch Tartan, a classic! Visit The Tartan Blanket Co. Pop-Up in Leith - they are open every day until the 23rd. You can also browse their online shop here.

Fish Plaice Festive Bothy

Ok, we know it is not in the 'burgh, but for a foodie it is totally worth the trip to Glasgow. Their Pop-Up is in Gordon Street Lane, next door to Bier Halle and they are open until 5th January 2016 (except Christmas Day and New Years Day). Facebook event.

19TH DECEMBER, SATURDAY

Christmas Juniper Festival

It is gin o'clock! Sample and buy your favourite gins at Summerhall - have you tried Pickering's 1947 original Bombay recipe gin yet? The 10 gbp ticket price includes a gin&tonic, a voucher for 2.50 gbp towards any bottle, mince pie and music. The festival starts already on the 18th (Friday), check also their Facebook event and buy your tickets here. 

Ninja Buns Pop-Up Closing Party

Ninja Buns are moving out of Paradise Palms, but will continue with outdoor events. So don't worry, you will still be able to munch on your favourite Taiwanese streetfood in the 'burgh. Make sure you follow their Facebook page to know their whereabouts.

Owl&Lion Bindery Sale

Visit the wee Owl&Lion Artisan Bindery shop at West Port and get some bargains and freebies at their very last sale. We love their prints and notebooks. Facebook event.

24 Doors of Advent, Door 19

Behind door 19 you will find Talbot Rice Gallery. If you are into art&architecture, it is worth checking out the two galleries: the Georgian Gallery with impressive neoclassical interior designed by William Playfair, and the contemporary White Gallery which was formerly used as lecture theatre.

20TH DECEMBER, SUNDAY

24 Doors of Advent, Door 20

Behind door 20 you will find The Glasite Meeting House in Barony Street. A former place of worship, it is also the location of the New Town Community Cinema.

Milk @The Fruitmarket Gallery

Sunday afternoon tea anyone? It is time to check out The Fruitmarket Gallery's brand new café operated by MILK (see more about the Friday opening event here).

Dominion Cinema
The you-know-which-movie is finally out. Why not watch it from a comfy couch? We love old cinemas and Dominion has the most comfortable seats in town - fact. Check their website for available times.

Have a good weekend!
