The Whole Family Wellbeing Team have collated a list of free and low-cost activities to do during the Spring school holidays.

The flowers are starting to bloom, and the days are getting longer. The children are keen to go out to play and explore but the costs continue to soar. You can find a list of free and low-cost activities to do in the run up to and during the Spring school holidays on the Family Holiday Activities webpage of the Support for Families website. The City of Edinburgh council are updating the webpage all the time, so please keep checking back in for new activities.
