Edinburgh 2026 🏴
About the event
Join us on Saturday, 8th August, 2026 at 2pm - 4pm UK time for two hours of writing HTML in celebration of HTML Day!
This event is open to everyone, whether or not you have any HTML experience. If you're new to coding, there will be someone here who can help you get started.
Join us
This event is being hosted by James, one of the co-organisers of the Edinburgh Homebrew Website Club.
We recommend bringing along your laptop and/or a pen and paper, depending on how you want to write your HTML.
The event will likely be hosted in The Meadows or a coffee shop, depending on the weather. Check back on this page a few days before the event for the final location.
