Join us for the launch of the first-ever Edinburgh Blue Balls Annual, a bold, honest, and beautifully raw collection of stories and portraits capturing the men, the moments, and the community that has grown from the cold waters of Portobello into something much bigger.
The Pitt, Granton
Friday 14th November, 2025
Doors open from 7pm
This is more than a launch, it’s a celebration of connection, vulnerability, and strength. Come share an evening of conversation, photography, and community, with food and drinks available to buy from The Pitt Street Food Market. You'll also have the chance to hear from some of the men featured in the Annual during a relaxed panel conversation.
Everyone attending will receive exclusive pre-release access to the free Edinburgh Blue Balls Annual, ahead of its general public release.
In collaboration with Soul Water Sauna, click here for exclusive access to limited discounted sauna sessions at The Pitt before the main event, the perfect warm-up to the night ahead.
Let’s pack the place, celebrate what we’ve built together, and make this a launch to remember.
