The Wash House is Portobello's community centre. Council owned and community managed. We host many regular activities which encourage and support health, wellbeing and life long learning for the benefit of the local community.The centre is also ideal for both professional and amateur arts activities and hosts plays, pantos, ceilidhs, film nights and music events. We can cater for all ages and provide wheelchair access.We have two rooms, a kitchen and a large hall available for hire with community and charitable activities accessing a preferential rate. We also have a seperate youth lounge for our youth group run by the Edinburgh City Council Lifelong Learning team. Where we can, we also run volunteer led activities like our weekly warm space, free and available to all.With the squeeze on public spaces in Portobello and Edinburgh, the Wash house in Adelphi Grove is a hidden gem with cheap and accessible activities on offer and a great space for community gatherings.
