Howzat! To celebrate the addition of sporting events to our 2010 programme we have teamed up with Activcity and the City of Edinburgh Council to stage an extra special 20/20 cricket match on Friday 6th August at Leith Franklin Cricket Club, Edinburgh (East Leith Links). This will see local Leith FAB CC take on our specially selected Mela team of players – Who will win? Who will be on our team? And… most importantly will there be a Venezuela in sight? Grab a picnic rug and make your way down to Leith Links from 4pm to find out!

Children’s Rugby, Cricket and Football

Can you bend it like Beckham? Other highlights of this year’s sporting programme for youngsters which takes place on Sunday 8th August between 1-5pm on West, Leith Links include expert football coaching sessions, rugby, cricket and our very own climbing wall (courtesy of Edinburgh International Climbing Arena, Ratho). The climbing wall will be located in the middle of the festival site with coaches from the centre on hand to show you the ropes. Open to children of all ages and abilities. Free entry.

Phew! After all that physical activity why not treat yourself to some of the global cuisine on offer in our festival marketplace. From Danish pastries to red hot Indian curries – we’ve got it covered!
