A new arts and culture festival is coming to the city centre.

The Seahorse Creative Arts and Publishing (SCAP) Summer Festival is the first of its kind from the organisation, which celebrates diversity and art from around Scotland.

For two days, attendees will be treated to a jam-packed schedule of free music, dance, readings, workshops, and exhibitions on August 26 and 27 from 12pm to 8pm.

Day one of the event will be held at the National Piping Centre on McPhater Street featuring a range of musical performances, flamenco dancers, and a series of guest writers showcasing a variety of readings.

The second day of the festival will be held at the Scottish Youth Theatre on Brunswick Street.

A range of free workshops will be available including Flamenco dance lessons, creative writing and poetry workshops, music lessons, and photography workshops among others.

Dr Linda Jackson, founder and Trustee of SCAP said: "The aim of the charity is to spread participation and engage with those who may not have the confidence or feel excluded from cultural pursuits to become involved in the Arts.

"The summer festival is an extension of this work and we're certain the two days will inspire individuals to explore their creative potential even further."
