UPDATE: EVENT CANCELLED

Due to 40-50mph winds forecast for this afternoon, we have made the very tough and sad decision to cancel today’s Wild Outdoor Science event. It is too unsafe to put up and use tents with such strong winds. We sincerely apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience caused.

We are already thinking about rescheduling in the spring as a one-off event!

Get close-up and hands-on with really wild scientists to discover more about the environment around us that we share with so many other living things.

Find out all about busy bees, build your own bug and bird houses, collect and analyse soil and water samples for evidence of life and explore the science all around you with guided nature and geology walks.

For our favourite 4-legged friends, Midlothian Dog Training Club will also be running a host of activities and challenges for you and your dog too. Wooftastic!

If all this isn’t enough join in a rocket build and launch!
