Words & Actions

Words and Actions for Peace at 58 Ratcliffe Terrace, Edinburgh EH9 1ST is a gallery, events venue and gathering space. It is home to different organisations and groups committed to peace and sustainability, and a space for collaboration and building community. Words and Actions is open to any groups and individuals who share their outlook and need a space to meet and work. You don’t need to buy a coffee to come in and use our Wifi – just drop by!

Apart from somewhere warm to meet, Words and Actions can provide users of the space with various equipment as well as storage space. We also offer a wee bit of peace-related retail.

Please drop in, say hello and explore the space. It is open Monday to Friday from 10 – 4.00 pm. All welcome at any time! There’s a free community lunch 12.00 – 2.00 on the last Sunday of each month.Or contact us for more information about the space, or to book in an event or exhibition.

Since November 2022, we’ve been providing a space for words and actions to flourish. There is power in shared action for the common good, and actors in the peace movement should not be in competition with each other. In our first year, our user groups included everything from campaigners to chess players. We also screened films, hosted accoustic gigs, panel discussions and political hustings, coffee mornings and held vigils. Countless visitors have dropped in for coffee and a chat, but we are not yet at full capacity.

We offer Associate posts to students and graduates, and we welcome interest from volunteers to help us keep the place open and be there for visitors – call in for an application form, or download it here.
