Only 6 weeks to go until our team embarks on the most epic adventure ever - the Inflatable Challenge! 🎉💙

We're not just doing it for the laughs (although, let's be real, it's gonna be hilarious), but to raise some serious cash for our amazing charity, the Grassmarket Community Project!

Every quid counts, as it helps us support people dealing with tough stuff like homelessness, trauma, and mental health issues through our awesome programmes. So, can you spare some change or a share? 🎯

We're on a mission to hit £2,000 and we need your help! Every little bit makes a BIG difference, so thanks in advance for being an awesome human! 💙

It’s Barnsley Youth Choir week and we couldn’t be more excited!🎶
Have you got your tickets yet? 👉🏻 https://greyfriarskirk.com/events/illuminate-barnsley-youth-choir/

Here’s the Development and Senior Choirs on stage
at Greyfriars Kirk. A wonderful sight…. And we have another 80 Children’s Choir members to add.

It’s so good to be back at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

Shows at 2pm and 5pm tomorrow (both 1 hour long)

Whilst ticket sales are very healthy and bigger than we’ve ever had, it’s a really big venue so there’s tickets available on the door.

It feels strange to say this, but….

Come and see the double World Champions at the Fringe!
