About this Event

Step back in time and get creative by making your own broadside! These cheap and plentiful printed leaflets once spread sensational news, songs, and stories through the streets of Scotland.

Using examples from the National Library of Scotland’s collection, you’ll have the chance to craft your own broadside and learn how they were designed and printed to capture the imagination of their readers - building stories, characters, and messages. No experience needed.
