Our Edinburgh activities are a brilliant way to see the city in a new way and take some time out of your usual routine to do something creative, refreshing your mind, body and soul!

The options are super varied, all offering you the chance to escape for a while and boost your sense of wellbeing. 

If you’re keen to see Edinburgh in a fresh light, why not try one of our photography workshops, and explore lesser-known Edinburgh attractions with the expert guidance of a local photography teacher. You’ll get to discover new sights in the city and you’ll learn to capture Edinburgh’s beautiful architecture and landmarks through some well-worked snaps - it’s a  great option for team building, or a fun thing to do in Edinburgh for birthday parties or relaxed stag-dos. We’ll do the organising for you, just book your spot, turn up and have a good time!

Fun indoor activities 

You may have heard the Scottish proverb 'today's rain is tomorrow's whisky.’ If this precious rain hits when you’re in the city, you might find yourself wanting to cabin up with some cosy indoor activities. Why not keep it authentic and do some online whisky tasting — it must be one of the best rainy day activities around! Learn about that inimitable water of life and soak up the knowledge of an expert whisky connoisseur in a virtual whisky experience. 

If whisky isn’t your thing, you’ll find a host of other fun indoor activities to enjoy when you’re in and around Edinburgh. Try a virtual class with your family on the sofa  — whatever you’re into, our online workshops offer loads of options if you’re trying to work out how to keep the kids entertained at home. Our craft kits for adults are also the perfect way to unwind indoors — try a DIY terrarium kit and make your own plant jungle, learn how to make candles at home and set the ambience with some handmade soy creations, or sweep your stresses away with a virtual paint and sip class.

Our online classes give you the chance to get creative inside, sparking your creativity and making something wonderful, either in a mindful moment to yourself, or alongside your loved ones. Treat yourself to one of our beginner craft kits or a fun virtual experience and have a great time!
