Edinburgh Festivals Site Launches

The website promoting Edinburgh Festivals has now been launched – www.edinburghfestivals.co.uk.

Edinburgh Festival Website

As Edinburgh is a capital of cultural events and arts festivals it was vital to have a central service, which allows consumers to find out information on any ongoing and future events throughout the city. The website gives information that will appeal to different cultural audiences with great interactive services available.

The website, which has been created by Leeds based digital agency Numiko, represents 12 of the city’s major festivals throughout the year. The site will be developed in the future to enable ticket booking and purchasing system covering around 300 venues. A TV channel will also, hopefully, be part of these future developments.

The Chocolate Library

Sandra Colamartino, the former editor of glossy magazine Homes and Interiors Scotland, has left the magazine sector and launched a new confectionary business.

Chocolate Library

The Chocolate Library, based in Edinburgh, combines her two passions – books and chocolate. They have created chocolate bars designed to look like books enabling buyers to read an article about the subject on the cover of the product.

Colamartino handles the design of the products herself and also writes most of the copy included in the chocolate books. ‘Landmarks of Scotland’ was the first range of products launched by The Chocolate Library. Renowned illustrator Iain McIntosh created drawings to go with the series, which attracted a lot of interest with companies requesting their own unique bars in a similar style.

The Chocolate Library has therefore already expanded to offer an extensive private label service ranging from bespoke products, single bars for hotels through to complete package ranges for larger organizations. This private label service has really taken off and Colamartino is now taking the project to the next level.

Clients of The Chocolate Library include the National Archives of Scotland, the Register of Tartans, the House of Commons, Gleneagles and the Balmoral Hotel. Visit www.chocolatelibrary.co.uk to view products for yourself.
