Christian Aid
Book & Art 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.
In the Autumn we also host an Art Sale which features fine collections of donated art works and further supports the work of Christian Aid. This year’s sale is 29th to 31st October.

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.
