Explore the beautiful city of Edinburgh with VICTA this December.

Wrap up warm with VICTA and explore Scotland’s capital as it comes alive with winter festivities and excitement! Discover Edinburgh’s historic secrets and enjoy winter themed activities with a group of 18+ participants.

Staying close to Edinburgh Waverley station for three nights, we will explore (just a bit) of Edinburgh’s 1.76 square miles of World Heritage Site. Our time will be spent taking part in a curling taster experience, a private city walking and Harry Potter tour, as well as an opportunity to get festive exploring their famous Winter Markets combining the celebrations for Christmas and Hogmanay.

VICTA are looking for proactive and enthusiastic individuals to volunteer their time to help support a group of 18+ participants throughout our time in Edinburgh. Volunteers are required to help support with mobility and guiding, social facilitation and accessing mealtimes and activities. Accommodation will be sharing a twin room with another VICTA volunteer or a VICTA staff member.

VICTA staff will be travelling between London Euston and Edinburgh Waverley by train for this activity and there will be an opportunity for participants and volunteers to travel with VICTA staff. If you would like to join VICTA on the train, please select the box on the application form and we will be in touch if you have a successful application.
