ALL funds will go toward The Jester fundraisers\, event s\, and the venue itself coming into fuition. \nLocation: PASS theatre\, W est Granton Road\, Edinburgh. EH5 1QE. \nTime: 18th September 2026\, doors 18:15\, show starts 18:30. \nPlease note that no entry will be available once the show begins. The show will include one break approximately 55 min s into the show which will last 15 minutes. If you have access needs\, ple ase get in contact with The Jester\, and we will accommodate you. Wheelcha ir access available. \n  \nOUR AIM:- \nThe Jester will be a queer-owned s pace which aims to be a community-driven accessible performance arts hub i n Edinburgh\, specifically designed to bridge the gap between education an d the professional performing arts industry. We want to offer everyone the fair and equal opportunity to watch\, enjoy\, perform and create. We woul d like to foster the growth of creatives\; offering them an affordable ‘ third space’ to write\, network\, rehearse and attend workshops by day\; and by night\, watch our high-quality Jester-produced events\, as well as touring shows\, fundraisers and charity events. Offering a space to group s within the community such as Andy’s Man Club\, Bipolar Scotland\, and many other charities is also very important to the venue. We would also li ke to create a Youth Theatre Group within the Jester\, operating closely w ith local colleges\, schools and universities. Not only this\, but our ven ue would be offered as a performance and rehearsal space for nearby primar y\, highschools and colleges who either want to gain experience working in a professional environment\, or don’t have the facilities for technical courses within drama (nat 5\, higher and adv higher)\, or don’t have an y sort of suitable space at their campus. \nWhat We Stand For:- \nAccessib ility\nWe are committed to establishing Edinburgh’s first and only fully accessible comedy venue\, addressing a significant gap in the city’s cu rrent arts infrastructure. We will ensure to host at least one show a mont h with a sign interpreter on stage with acts\, we have also been in discus sion with funding bodies regarding installing a ‘Changing Places Toilets ’- which will benefit many wheelchair users\, folks with carers\, and th ose with stomas\, etc. We will always be as accommodating as possible\, es pecially if provided extra information before shows when it comes to fundr aisers. \nCommunity\nOur focus is on cultivating a “human vibe” that p rioritises community collaboration and genuine creative expression over pu rely commercialised products. Legitimately everything we are going to do h as the greater community in mind- offering the space to charities during t he day\, working with local schools\, and working with professionals in th e industry to develop and offer high-quality\, beneficial workshops. \nEdu cation\nWe aim to create meaningful pathways for students to gain hands-on experience in a professional working live events venue environment\, prov iding space for rehearsals\, exams\, and performances. In addition\, we wi ll also run and produce our own Youth Group- and hire a small team of loca l drama and theatre teachers to assist\, to ensure the highest quality of education available. Workshops for all ages and abilities will also be off ered to everyone\, whether they have performed with us previously or not. \nInclusion\nThe Jester is dedicated to being a safe and welcoming space f or the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities\, as well as other marginalis ed groups. \nSystemic Change\nWe seek to revitalise Edinburgh’s performi ng arts scene\, ensuring it thrives year-round beyond the world-famous fes tival season. Additionally\, as someone who worked as a stand up comedian for multiple years- breaking down the culture of comedy being a ‘Man’s Club’ is very important to me. Not only are we planning on working with Get Off Live Comedy to provide vital Anti-Sexual Harassment training to t he future staff members of the venue – but also will be providing a safe \, anonymous contact system for comedians to report any harassment directl y to myself and the board – which include the Head of Production and the Head of Tech\, ensuring the venue will forever stay entirely safe for eve ryone after reviewing reports. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\nEdinburgh C ollege Theatre (Granton Campus)\n350 West Granton Road\, Edinburgh\, EH5 1 QE LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T001659Z LOCATION:Edinburgh College Theatre (Granton Campus)\, 350 West Granton Roa d\, Edinburgh\, EH5 1QE\, United Kingdom URL:https://esen.scot/event/stand-up-for-the-jester-comedy-show-fundraiser /?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=edinburgh-scotland X-SOURCE-NAME:Edinburgh Social Enterprise Network X-SOURCE-URL:https://esen.scot/edinburgh-open-workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:!!

Sorry for any inconvenience!**\n\n**TYPICAL GAME S**: Everything from party games to strategic epics!\n**GAMES LIBRARY**: B YO\, plus small library on site\n**FOOD & DRINKS**: Bar + Starbucks\, smal l food menu **(20% Discount for EBG attendees).**\n\n**What better way to celebrate the end of another week than with some drinks\, chat and games!* * Were over with our friends at The Hampton by Hilton near fountain park o ver the summer while the Grassmarket Centre are busy with the festival.\n\ nThe tables are smaller than we have at other venues. We can move them aro und as long as we put them back. Please dont take too many\, we need to le ave some for others.\n\nThe hotel is giving us the space for free on the u nderstanding that we encourage people to buy their lovely food and drink. Please don't bring in your own. The staff preparing the food are also serv ing at the bar and manning the hotel desk. Please be patient with them if they are slow serving!\n\n* **20% Discount at the Hotel bar if you use the phrase: "Can I get the discount\, I'm with the gamers over there. Cheers! "** ... or they just realise you're with us.\n\nWe\\`ll be there from 630- 7:00 ish until 11:30-12:00 ish. **Don't worry if you're going to be late. Games will be starting and ending throughout the evening.** It’s unusual to need to wait more than 10-15 mins at events like these. We do need to be out of the door by 12 exactly (ideally earlier) though due to their lic encing rules. So please keen an eye on time.\n\nBring games if you like. W e'll have some on site too. A wide range get played from lighter stuff to big chunky ones.\n\n**Want to help with EBG running costs?** Please see ou r Patreon below. Huge thanks to everyone donating already.

You are helping us plenty by just adding to the friendly atmosphere and **we\\`d** **much** **rather you spent cash at the venue if deciding between the two.**\n\n**I'M NEW AND UNSURE WHAT TO DO!** Do not fear! We know it can be daunting for newcomers. But please don’t worry\, we have a fantastic base of regulars who have all been new at some point. You\\`ll find people are very friendly and the organisers even actively k eep an eye open to make sure you get a warm welcome. If we've missed you\, just ask one of the tables. ***What to Expect***: The day is very informa l. Some people will have pre-planned a longer game (feel free to use the c omments)\, but the vast majority will honesty just form tables with whoeve r is free using the big pile of games we keep on site. It’s a great way to meet new people.\n\n**DO I NEED TO KNOW ALL THE GAMES?** Not at all! Ho nestly\, that would be an impressive feat in its own right! Dont worry\, p eople usually find a game someone knows how to teach\, often something the y brought from home and we try to keep a good number of easy to pick up on es in the library.

DTSTART:20260920T140000Z DTEND:20260920T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260911T181907Z UID:10034065-1789916400-1789923600@www.salisburycentre.org CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:When:\nEvery 3rd Sunday of the month\n15:00-17:00\n(if desired 15 minute break 16:00-16:15) \nAbout the Event:\nLet’s talk about thing s we don’t often talk about and share what we think. \nCertainly some of the things each of us practices to develop ourselves\, to find God\, to f ind the meaning of life or to become a better human being\, I rarely talk about and I rarely hear other people talk about.\nHowever I think (hope) t hat we can learn from each other by sharing what is going on inside oursel ves.\nDiscussion groups like this can get bogged down by (dis)agreements o r by people exclusively wanting to talk about what they believe in (as if they are trying to convince others that they should believe the same).\nI would like us to be disciplined in our talking AND listening. A few guidel ines might help to create a respectful\, open and relaxed space. \nSuggest ed guidelines and practicalities:\nAt the start of each meeting the guidel ines are to be considered\, modified (if desired) and adopted for the meet ing.\nConfidentiality: Whatever is talked about in the meeting is totally confidential and will not be discussed outside the meeting (also not in th e break)\, not even with people who were present at the time. Confidential ity gives me the freedom to talk about things that I may not want to talk about outside this kind of meetings.\nOnly one person speaks at a time: Op tional: the person who is speaking can invite brief comments or answer sho rt questions.\nSilence between speakers (1-5 minutes). Optional: silence d uring the 15 minute break.\nAgree a maximum time that one person can speak (5 minutes?)\nIf a speaker goes on too long or goes off-topic\, anyone ca n gently ring the bell. (Only ring the bell gently\; it is up to the speak er to change/stop/come to the point\; this should not be used to discourag e people from speaking what is on their mind\, even if you disagree or do not understand).\nWe share our OWN experiences/opinions/ideas. We do not g ive each other advice or criticise each other. I suggest using the word “I” instead of “you” or “we”\, in this context.\nWe do not ‘ jump in’ to comment on what someone else has just said. We do not presen t other people’s teachings/wisdoms except if it is needed to give contex t to the subject and our own experience. \nSubjects: at the end of each me eting the participants set the subject for the next meeting. \nExample Sub jects of exploration\n“Meditation” can cover a whole range of techniqu es and traditions (separate subjects?): \n◦ Why meditate?\n◦ What is y our experience when you meditate?\n◦ How do you meditate?\n◦ Is Mindfu lness different from meditation? \nWhat have you tried that did not work o r did not work the way you expected? \n◦ techniques\, rituals\, therapie s\, religious practices\nEmotions\n◦ Are emotions useful or a hindrance in personal or spiritual development?\nGod\n◦ Words: e.g. Source\, Godde ss\, (named) Deity \, Life Force\, Creator\, etc.\n◦ Is it useful to use the word [God] and what do you mean by it?\n◦ Do you have an image of [ God]\, a bit like a personal image or an image that a certain religion sug gests\; or do you use the word [God] for the underlying creative/life forc e of the universe\; or something else? \nIs it useful to ask: “Who am I? ” \n◦ Variations: “Who am I?”\, “What am I?”\, “Where is the ‘me’\; inside\, outside\, both?” \nEgo \n◦ Is it a problem or a f eature?\n◦ How do you experience it? \nFree Will \n◦ What is it?\n◦ Does free will exist? \nGratitude \n◦ Life is a mystery to be lived\, no t a problem to be solved.\n◦ Whether you believe in a divine plan or in the big bang and random evolution\, the fact that we are here as sentient beings\, talking to each other is a miracle. \nLife after/before death \n ◦ Heaven & Hell\n◦ Reincarnation \nWhat is the Salisbury Centre about? \nRoom:\nWellspring Room \nAccessibility:\nWellspring Room is fully acces sible. The Salisbury Centre’s kitchen door and toilet are now wheelchair accessible. The Garden can also be accessed by wheelchairs via a movable ramp via the Art Room Annex.

Touch. Listen. Be Loved. \n  \nTired of the superficial swipe? \n  \nSeeking more embodied connections with like-minded souls? \ nHere’s your chance to take a break from the apps and the small talk\, a rrive fully into yourself and connect playfully & authentically with other s. For the first time ever\, it’s coming to Edinburgh this September! \n Embodied Dating is an immersive evening experience where you’ll move flu idly between conversation\, movement and touch. Come spark a new connectio n or two (romantic or platonic)\, and walk away with skills you can take i nto every relationship. \nThis event welcomes all men\, women & non-binary people aged 18+\, both monogamous & non-monogamous. This event is aimed f or hetero and bisexual identifying people. \n“This has been the most pos itive experience I’ve had in meeting genuine souls with the intention of finding love/romance for over 6 years” – Luca \nWhat will actually ha ppen? 🥰 \nYou’ll be invited to explore a series of unique interaction s\, carefully guided to help you connect through your body\, and meet othe rs with genuine curiosity and openness. \nActivities will weave together: \n✨ Authentic Relating – playful\, courageous connection through radic al honesty and active listening\, drawing you into presence and embodied a wareness \n✨ Intuitive Movement – surrendering into somatic flow\, let ting your body lead the way \n✨ Conscious Touch – exploring the many d imensions of co-regulating touch in full awareness of desires and boundari es \n💨 We will begin the evening with a short breathwork practice to he lp you land. \n👯‍♂️ Some pairings are randomised\, some you can c hoose for yourself. \n😎 Blindfolds may be used in certain activities to deepen your connection with your physical sensations and inner world. \n ✅ Consent is central throughout the evening. You will always have the ag ency to choose how deep you go\, and the level of physical contact you wan t to engage in. \nIs this for me? ✨ \nThis evening is for you if you’r e seeking: \n✨ Deep\, meaningful interactions – no small talk \n✨ Ex citing new connections\, romantic\, platonic or somewhere in between \n✨ A chance to explore embodied awareness and somatic connection \n✨ A sub stance-free environment with a warm\, welcoming atmosphere \n✨ Skills to enrich your interpersonal relationships long after the evening ends \n✨ A space to simply be yourself \nWhether you’re a seasoned workshop-goer or brand new to these practices\, you’ll find something valuable here. \nWhy are tickets sold by gender? 👫 \nTo ensure that the gender balance is as even as possible\, it is important to keep track of how many men/wo men/non-binary people are signing up. If a particular gender is over-repre sented in the run-up to the event\, we do our best to ensure that under-re presented gender(s) also sign up. \nWhile we aim to achieve an even balanc e of genders (and ages)\, this is not always possible. However\, what is g uaranteed are skills that you can apply to any connection. Simply come wit h an open mind and ready to connect. \nThe Facilitator 💁‍♂️ \nLau rie King (he/him) is a queer British-Kiwi based in Berlin.
