Edinburgh Big Beach Weekend - WEES5

15 - 17 May, Scoughall , P5 - S3, £83.00
Accompanied travel: Gyle Centre

We’re hosting another fantastic Big Beach Weekend for Edinburgh young people in P5-S3.  

Scoughall, in East Lothian, is right by the beach, so it is a great place for all that a seaside holiday has to offer.  There is also an indoor sports hall, and accommodation is in dorms or cabins. 

There will be a variety of activity choices, both indoor and outdoor, including those listed below, and over the weekend we’ll also have time to explore the Bible together and chat about what it says.  

This is a great opportunity to connect with other young people from across Edinburgh, to make new friends, and have lots of fun! 

All the activities plus meals and accommodation are included in the price. 

Travel is also included with a coach which leaves the Gyle Centre at 6pm on the Friday and returns around 3.30pm on the Sunday. 

 

Bookings for this weekend will open on Tuesday 28th October 2025.

What's the location like?

Scoughall (pronounced "skole") sits at the end of a farm country road right by the beach, with access to some great on-site activities and surrounded by beautiful countryside as well as the ocean. The new cabins built in 2022 bring with them greater comfort and allow more people to come and enjoy the site.

What's Outside?

No matter your interests, you'll find a wide range of exciting outdoor activities to dive into. If you thirst for victory, why not jump on one of our Pedal Go Karts and race around the winding grass and dirt track. If you want to scale to new height, literally or within yourself, harness up and take on our towering climbing wall. Can you see the beach beyond the trees when you reach the top? Or perhaps for you, adventure lies in stealth, behind trees and bunkers, where a battle of Nerf Zone awaits.

What’s inside?

Our indoor facilities include an inviting dining area and meeting room, further dorm accommodation, toilets and showers. Up for some friendly competition? Head to the games hall for some football or to bounce around on the inflatables. If you need a calmer moment, head to the games room where you can sharpen your shot at pool, test your aim at table football or practice your reflexes with a round of table tennis.

Where is it?

 On the East Coast of Scotland, just South of North Berwick, you will find SU Scotland’s Campsite, Scoughall. The seaside retreat of Scoughall offers plenty of space to roam, explore and truly ‘join the adventure!’
