CURRENT PROJECTS

theSpace Scotland continues to deliver innovative projects across East Lothian, combining skateboarding, cycling, creativity, and community engagement:

DUNBAR

theSPACE DUNBAR

Today, that dream is alive at Dunbear Point in Dunbar. After engaging the community in July 2025 consultations, we crafted detailed RIBA plans, raised £98k through grants and a 2025 Crowdfunder, and submitted our full planning application Jan 2026. We’re gearing up for a £15m capital raise to build our landmark facility in Dunbar.

EAST LINTON

theMART

theMart in East Linton is a pop-up skatepark and creative hub, offering beginner and adult skateboarding sessions, girls’ and LGBTQ+ skate sessions, and a range of creative workshops. Offering a safe, inclusive space powered by youth for the whole community. 

DUNBAR

DUNBAR OUTDOOR SKATEPARK

We are leading the design and project management for a new outdoor skatepark in Dunbar, scheduled to open in 2026. Designed in consultation with young people, it will provide permanent infrastructure for skateboarding, creativity, and social connection.

EAST LOTHIAN

MUSIC

At theSpace, we put young people at the heart of music and creativity. From electrifying gigs to hands-on music projects, we give local youth the space, support, and opportunities to create, perform, and shine.

DUNBAR

DUNBAR PUMP TRACK

The Dunbar Pump Track is a dynamic space for cycling, skill-building, and fun. We run a variety of activities for young people and the community, including bike maintenance workshops, inclusive riding sessions, and skill development programmes.

PAST PROJECTS

theSPACE NORTH BERWICK

In 2011 we leased an old factory in North Berwick and launched theSpace NB, our first landmark multi-activity youth centre. Over the next five years, theSpace NB became a buzzing hub featuring an indoor skatepark, music and arts rooms, a café with soft play, and mentoring and skill-building opportunities for young people.
