Christian Aid
Book Sale
Each year, Edinburgh New Town Church hosts the Christian Aid Book Sale, one of the largest and best-known charity book sales in the UK. Held annually, it draws visitors from across Edinburgh and beyond, with thousands of books across every genre.
Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, the sale raises significant funds for Christian Aid while bringing the building to life in a unique and memorable way. It has become a much-loved fixture in the city’s calendar and an event many return to year after year.
Fringe
Festival
The church is a well-established venue within the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, hosting a wide-ranging programme. With almost 50 shows each year, led by music, from classical and jazz to Scottish music, opera and songs from the shows, alongside a variety of visiting performances.
The building’s distinctive shape and acoustics create a memorable setting for both performers and audiences, many of whom return year after year. Supported by a dedicated team of volunteers, the festival is a lively and much-anticipated part of the church’s annual calendar.
