What's on in West End

West End is that quiet corner of the City of Edinburgh where you can actually hear the wind through the trees without shouting over a gig. The town centre holds markets on certain days and pop-up stalls appear when the rain decides to stay off for once. It's a proper neighbourhood with character, not just a transit route to anywhere else. Live music finds a home in local halls while community groups run workshops that make your hands ache in a good way. You'll find theatre nights tucked away between the shops and the odd art exhibition that makes you question your own taste. Near Here keeps the calendar updated so you don't have to ask three friends which night has the least traffic.
