A Little Space for Big Conversations ...... at the end of the year

You're invited to join us for an exciting opportunity to explore human connection through conversation. Find out more about us https://www.theconversationproject.uk/

Get ready to mix walking in nature, reflecting on the year and unexpected encounters at this unique social experience that brings together the vibrant and diverse community of Hogmany visitors and Edinburgh locals. It’s the perfect way to escape the festive crowds, make new friends, and enjoy memorable interactions - all while taking in some amazing 360 degree views of the city and reflecting on the end of the year. You never know who you might meet!!

What to expect:

Welcoming, fun environment: to meet people and take part in open and meaningful conversations.

Random, small group matches: introducing you to like minded folks you’ve never met before.

Conversation prompts: carefully curated to spark meaningful dialogue, helping you delve into topics that matter and create memorable interactions.

The event will start in front of the Collective Gallery on top of Calton Hill.

Bring your own hot drink and snack if you like.

Important information for participants:

You can also get to the top of the hill by taxi/Uber. The terrain is flat and easy for walking. There are multiple paths and lots of benches if you need a break.

• Bring your own tea/coffee or a cold drink and snack.

• Public toilets are located at the north side of the Collective Gallery on Calton Hill, beneath the Lookout Restaurant. A 50p donation is requested. Disabled toilets are available inside the City Observatory on request.
