Septemberfest 2012!

Saturday 22nd September
11am – 4pm
Free Entry

Septemberfest is the Community Festival at Broughton High School, Comely Bank, Edinburgh.

Come join us for lots of fun for all ages. The festival includes music and dance, with pipers, a samba band, and a rock choir, and capoeira too, with drumming and dance workshops and displays. There are lots of sports tasters and competitions as well, in football, rugby, fencing, judo, tennis, basketball, table tennis and more. British Military Fitness will be running assault courses. There will be bouncy castles and inflatables for all ages, plus the star attraction: a climbing tower! Don’t miss the huge craft fair, either, with loads of fantastic handcrafted goods. Plus, come and have a go at wet felting, leather working, jewellery making or decopatch. Want more? Get your bike fixed for free, and have a go at the bicycle obstacle course. You might try Tandem bike racing! There’s plenty of other things to do. Sit in a fire engine and ring the siren. Get your face painted, or visit the nail bar, the coconut shy, the chemistry capers, or the balloons and ‘tattoo’ and booths. The village café will be selling tea and cakes, and there will be a BBQ, with pizza and ice cream.

Want to support the Septemberfest? Consider being a volunteer on the day — there’s a rota, so it’s only for a couple hours.
