We are deeply concerned about the potential sale of Summerhall, a vital cultural institution in our city. Since its transformation from the Royal School of Veterinary Studies in 2011, Summerhall has been a thriving multi-arts venue, hosting over 110 companies, galleries, studios, and community spaces.

We oppose any plans to convert Summerhall into apartments or student flats, as such a move would not only strip away a crucial cultural asset but also diminish the unique character of our community.

We urge the current owners and potential buyers to explore alternative solutions that preserve Summerhall's role as a hub for creativity, innovation, and community engagement. Whether through community ownership, partnerships with cultural organizations, or other innovative approaches, we believe there are viable alternatives that can ensure Summerhall's continued success.

Please join us in signing this petition to protect Edinburgh's cultural heritage and preserve spaces like Summerhall for future generations.
