What’s on

Community Cinema

Our free Community Cinema shows a wide range of entertaining films from family classics and slapstick comedy to hard-hitting dramas and thought-provoking documentaries. Films are regularly shown on a Monday evening following our Open Door Meals, during holiday periods and at other times. Special screenings include visits from film directors, actors and others talking about their involvement or taking part in a Q&A. Please go to our specific Grassmarket Community Project website here for all the information you need about films, film-related events and details of how to book you seat.

Most films are run on an open door policy. Very occasionally we ask people to book ahead on Eventbrite if we expect a film to be very busy e.g. special screenings. Check here for latest listings. Donations gratefully received from those who are able to give.

Grass Cuttings Podcast

Listen free to our podcast Grass Cuttings. Episodes are released every month and feature interviews with our members, staff, our founder and chair as well as partners and supporters. You can listen to them via spotify, Apple or our own website player

Other Events

We run other public events throughout the year including our popular Robert Burns evening, lively ceilidhs with bands guaranteed to set toes tapping and dancers birling, fascinating talks, book signings and more. Check out our listings page to see what’s coming up.

If you would like to hold an event here at our award winning Grassmarket Centre, please speak to our events team on 0131 225 3626 or email events@grassmarket.org.
