About Our Edinburgh Events

Team building in Edinburgh that actually works

As one of Scotland's most experienced team building companies in Edinburgh, our Livingston team is 20 minutes from the city centre.

Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage status gives corporate events a grandeur that modern conference centres simply cannot replicate. Our Livingston team is 20 minutes from the city centre, with deep relationships across every major venue in the capital and the Lothians.

Edinburgh is in a class of its own as a destination for team building and group activities. As Scotland's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Edinburgh combines world-class conference infrastructure with a historic grandeur that no other UK city can match. The Old Town's medieval closes, the Georgian elegance of the New Town, and the dramatic backdrop of Arthur's Seat create an atmosphere that inspires creativity before the event even begins.

Event Collection has been delivering exceptional team building and group activities in Edinburgh for years. We know Scotland's capital city's venues inside out — from the breathtaking Gosford House stately home in East Lothian and the exclusive Carberry Tower castle estate to the atmospheric Greyfriars Kirk and Edinburgh Academy in the New Town. Whether you need a high-energy Highland Games day for 200 people or a CSI challenge for a leadership team of 20, we handle every detail.

We also deliver spectacular corporate fun days across Edinburgh and the Lothians, with inflatables, games, entertainment and catering for groups of any size. Our Livingston office is just 20 minutes from Edinburgh city centre, giving us unrivalled local knowledge and fast response times. Edinburgh Airport offers direct connections to 150+ destinations, making Scotland's capital ideal for national and international delegates. We also deliver evening events including casino nights at Greyfriars Kirk and gala dinners at Edinburgh's most spectacular venues.
