Edinburgh Conservation Film Festival: All-age film screening
23January
A film and something to make afterwards is an easy morning out with children. On Saturday 23 January 2027 the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh shows a family-friendly selection of short films from the Edinburgh Conservation Film Festival. They are about the natural world close to home and across the globe, and what people and communities are doing to look after it. The screening is in the museum's Auditorium from 10.30am to 11.30am, and there are drop-in, hands-on activities in the foyer afterwards until 12.30pm. A longer screening with the festival's prize-giving follows in the afternoon, from 1.30pm. Tickets are £6 for adults and £5 for under-16s.
