We’ve got the illustrator, the venues are being collated and we’re working on the map and poster design. All of a sudden November feels very close!

⭐️ We are so excited to introduce our LCT 2026 lead designer, the incredibly talented @zoebrownart ⭐️

Zoë is the creative mind behind this year’s Leith Creative Trail map, poster and all the lovely little illustrations you’re going to see. If you followed the Trail last year you will already be familiar with her beautiful work. We cannot wait to see what she brings to 2026.

📢 Leith Creative Trail 2026 is coming, and we want you on the map.

Venue applications are now open for Leith Creative Trail 2026, taking place from 27 November – 13 December.

Now in its fifth year, the Trail celebrates Leith’s vibrant creative community by opening the doors to studios, galleries, workshops, creative businesses and cultural organisations across the neighbourhood.

For the first time, the Trail will run over two weeks, giving venues greater flexibility to choose opening days and times that work for them, while giving visitors more opportunities to discover everything Leith has to offer.

Last year, the Trail welcomed an estimated 40,000 venue visits, reached 200,000+ people on Instagram, and 100% of participating venues reported increased footfall.

If you’re a creative business, maker, studio, gallery or creative organisation based in Leith, we’d love you to be part of this year’s Trail.

✏️ Leith Creative Trail wouldn’t be what it is without the amazing illustrators who worked tirelessly on the map and poster. The shop icons were a personal highlight this year! Huge love and thanks to @catgordonillustration & @zoebrownart for their amazing work. They’ve given the trail such an amazing refresh which will last for years to come! 🗺️ by @leithcreativetrail

⭐️ Thank you - Leith Creative Trail 2025 is a wrap.

What an incredible year. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us - visitors, artists, creatives, volunteers, neighbours and friends who helped bring the Trail to life. The energy, support and curiosity of everyone involved made this year’s Trail something special.

We saw so many people in the area, carrying their maps, making memories and supporting small independent businesses and makers. It’s a joy to witness creativity transform the streets and spaces of Leith.

We’d really appreciate your feedback, there’s a short survey linked in our bio. We’re already excited for 2026, to stay in the loop, keep following, leave your email in the feedback form or if you’ve got an idea or a project you want to do, slide into our DMs. Let’s keep the spirit of creativity and community alive in Leith ⭐️ taken in Edinburgh Open Workshop by @leithcreativetrail
