The Nudge: Edinburgh’s big, free, family fun day out!

The Nudge

Next Saturday (10 September), the Pentland Hills will play host to The Nudge, the perfect free day out for families in Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

Grab the kids and bring them to The Nudge, where you can navigate your way around the orienteering course which is five miles of fun! Also at The Nudge will be entertainment, live music, giant games and a bouncy castle set against the scenic backdrop of the Pentland Hills. The Nudge is not to be missed!

As well as all of the games and the orienteering course, there will be a family picnic area which will be perfect for refuelling the children throughout the day.

The Nudge is free for families to enter all you have to do is turn up on Saturday 10 September and join in the fun from 1pm.

The Nudge is run by St Columba’s Hospice as part of their outdoor challenge event, The Push. The Push is a 14/20/26.2 mile walk or run across the Pentland Hills.
