Creative making: Create your own broadside

Step back in time and get creative by making your own broadside!

Step back in time and get creative by making your own broadside! These cheap and plentiful printed leaflets once spread sensational news, songs, and stories through the streets of Scotland.

Using examples from the National Library of Scotland’s collection, you’ll have the chance to craft your own broadside and learn how they were designed and printed to capture the imagination of their readers - building stories, characters, and messages. No experience needed.

When you book an event, your personal information will be held and used by the National Library of Scotland and our third-party suppliers for the purposes of allowing you to attend the event and for audience research. For more information, visit the National Library of Scotland privacy pages, in particular the events notice and feedback and complaints notice. We expect attendees to behave respectfully towards presenters, guests and other audience members.
