This Month's Special Host: The Incredible Pianodrome!

Each month, we shine a spotlight on a different ECCAN group member, and in September, we're thrilled to be hosted by the remarkable Pianodrome!

Pianodrome was established in 2017 by musician friends Tim Vincent-Smith and Matthew Wright with a unique vision: to construct the world's very first amphitheatre entirely from upcycled pianos. Their groundbreaking Pianodrome at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, for the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, captivated 18,000 visitors, earning widespread critical acclaim and international recognition.

Today, from their warehouse workshop in Granton, they continue their innovative work. They run weekly piano dismantling sessions, regularly host fantastic free concerts, and operate their heartwarming "Adopt-a-Piano" scheme – a true haven for pianos in search of a new home. Join in and experience their inspiring space firsthand!

What to Expect:

  • A Complimentary Lunch: Fuel your conversations with a delightful, free meal cooked at the Pianodrome cafe.
  • Forge New Connections: Mingle with inspiring individuals and groups who are genuinely making a positive impact right here in Edinburgh.
  • Discover ECCAN: Uncover more about our network and how you can play an active role in shaping a greener future.
  • Ignite Collaboration: Exchange insights, spark exciting new partnerships, and strengthen the collective force of our community.

This informal get-together is your ideal opportunity to gain fresh perspectives, share your own journey, and grow your network in a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Who Should Attend?

Everyone is welcome! If you have an interest in contributing to Edinburgh's climate efforts, regardless of whether you're an ECCAN member or not, we'd love to see you there.
