So many summer programmes, so little time! Total Craigroyston has made finding something to do over the summer holidays more simple. Read on …
A number of the youth and children’s as well as Community Learning and Development run extensive programmes during the summer holidays.
We’ve collated these activities into one place and created a timetable of all the opportunities available. Over the 6 weeks there are just under 400 opportunities for school-aged children and young people. A good number of these are free or very low cost.
To find out more information about any of these activities take a look at Join in Edinburgh (www.joininedinburgh.org) – just enter the name of the activity in the search box.
