Drop your wilds in for a mini adventure at The Pitt in Granton.

Our 90-minute nature-based sessions are packed with hands-on fun, fresh air, and creative exploration — all while you enjoy The Pitt at your own pace. Grab a coffee, wander the site, or unwind in the sauna while we entertain, inspire, and tire out your sprogs.

Each day at The Pitt will have a theme to spark curiosity, creativity, and connection with the natural world.

Every day includes five different types of sessions based on the theme:

Crafting & Creative – From clay creatures and leaf print flags to forest wands and wild crowns, kids get stuck into imaginative, nature-inspired making.

Bushcraft & Wild Skills – Learn to build shelters, tie knots, light a fire with flint and steel (safely supervised), or forage for wild herbs.

Movement & Big Play – Run, race, and build! Think woodland obstacle courses, pedal kart tracks, giant box dens, gel blasters, or mini Highland games.

Nature Science & Discovery – Hunt for bugs, mix muddy potions, explore “sink or float” experiments, or try a hands-on weather science activity.

Magic, Stories & Chill Time – Wind down with Scottish folklore, nature quests, imaginative games, or get creative with sketchpads as we watch the ocean.

Perfect for children aged 5–11, each session is led by experienced outdoor instructors and designed to build confidence, fire up the imagination, and connect kids to the wild world around them.
