Community Festival
Join us!
Meet your neighbours
We are getting ready to celebrate the arrival of over 300 new homes in Granton!
To mark the completion of this new neighbhourhood, we’re inviting all tenants to a week long festival ending in an afternoon street party at Chestnut Wynd. This will be a great opportunity to meet your neighbours, learn more about the area and try new activities such as family football, gardening and watercolour painting nearby.
Make sure you book a place on your favourite activities below, as spaces are limited!
