Words from the Wards: The Exhibition

9th August 10:00 AM – 17th August 9:00 PM BST

Free

Last year, through our Words from the Wards project, we asked the people of Edinburgh to share stories about the former Royal Infirmary, to honour the experiences and memories that people connect with the building’s previous life. Following the success of the project, we worked with Edinburgh College of Art students to illustrate the collected stories. Join us to view the stories and illustrations side by side in our new festival gallery.
