Sacred Arts Festival: Exploring Sacred Space at St Michael and All Saints is a free guided tour of the church in Tollcross, led by Rector Fr Oliver Brewer-Lennon, as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Though the surrounding area is now expensive to live in, the church was originally founded for people with very little — yet behind its plain grey stone exterior lies a lavish interior of colour, gilding and devotional imagery. The tour reveals why this striking interior still startles and rewards close attention. Organised in conjunction with the National Churches Trust, it runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 5 and over.
Why see this show?
A free chance to step inside one of Edinburgh's most surprising interiors — a church built for the poor that dazzles with colour and gilding behind a plain stone exterior. Fr Oliver Brewer-Lennon's insider perspective makes it genuinely illuminating.
