Summer Activities for all ages in Gorgie, Dalry & Carrickvale

Want to try golf, streetdance or archery?  Fancy a go at horseriding, laser quest or cheerleading?

All these and more are on offer this summer in Gorgie, Dalry and Carrickvale, but places are limited and activities are very popular, so be prepared – booking for all activities opens TOMORROW, Monday 23 June 2014, in person at Carrickvale Community Centre or Tynecastle Community Wing.  You will need to complete an enrolment form and where appropriate a parent/guardian consent form, and payment must be made when booking.  Neither centre accepts credit cards.

Gorgie Dalry Community Association is running a holiday activity club, cheerleading and archery for P4-P7s, Mini Movers for P1-P3, Tri Golf for P1-P4 and fencing for P1-P7.

At Gorgie War Memorial Hall you can enjoy streetdance (ages 5-9 and 10-16), an activity week (P1-P5) and a Family Fun Day.

St Bride’s Centre in Orwell Terrace can offer Summer Fusion (11-16 years), Mini Fusion (7-10 years), arts & activities workshops (ages 5-9) and Artie’s Tartan Tales (as part of Fringe 2014.)

There are lots of choices at Carrickvale Community Centre,, and it’s not all for children only – adults can book for a visit to Balhousie Castle or Traquair House or  a free Winter Gardens walk and tour, whilst there is an art week for ages 5-11, go-karting for ages 10-15, laser quest for ages 9-15, wake boarding and ropes at Foxlake (with transport), youth archery and horse riding for 9-16s, and a free activity day at Bridge 8 for 8-16s. Families can try an archery week, an afternoon of horse riding or a visit to laser quest together.

So all you have to do is just make sure you are at one of the booking centres early to secure your place. You can book a maximum of three activities taking place at any one centre, and a maximum of five over the whole programme (all subject to availability and nothing to do with us of course!)

Activities are arranged by Edinburgh City Council Community Learning and Development.
