Edinburgh International Children’s Festival Family Encounters Day

Kick off the 2023 Edinburgh International Children’s Festival with Family Encounters – a day of free pop-up performances, artist interventions and activities for the whole family.

Family Encounters is a great way to get up close to exciting new performances and interactive experiences from local artists. Discover drop-in activities throughout the museum, including walk-about characters, dance performances, treasure hunts, hands-on art stations and more.

This year’s programme also includes a new performance which has been designed by children from Forthview Primary School as part of the Creative Encounters project, which places young people at the heart of the creative process and decision making.
