Join the Big Welcome picnic from 3.00 pm to 6.00pm on Portobello Promenade on Sunday, July 24th as part of the 2012 Olympic Open Weekend and Cultural Olympiad.

We invite everyone to decorate a tablecloth to show your international connections with people and places around the world that you love.

Bring your tablecloths, your cakes and picnic to Portobello Prom to help set out a tea table along one kilometre of the Portobello sea wall. Bring your sport, your performance, your music and your dance to entertain each other and our overseas visitors, to show the world that Edinburgh’s Seaside is a great place to visit.

We would like your tablecloth ideas to be as creative as possible. Join one of our artist led workshops to stimulate your imagination. Workshops will be held on Saturdays at:

Portobello Community Centre, Adelphi Place June 25th; 1.00pm – 5.00pm
St. Phillips Church Hall, Brunstane Road North July 2nd, 9th, 16th; 1.00pm – 5.00pm; J

Register your tablecloth on our website and support the work of Amnesty International.
