Captivated by the Winter Olympics or fancy an unusual day out? Book into one of our public Try Curling taster sessions today!
Our public Try Curling taster sessions are the perfect commitment-free introduction to our sport. You get roughly 1h55 on the ice with certified coaches and all the specialist equipment you’ll need. Each session has up to 8 participants, who will be taught the basics of delivering the Olympic-standard curling stones and sweeping like a pro before sampling the delights of a proper team game.
What do we need?
Participants only need to bring with them a spare pair of spotlessly clean rubber-soled trainers for wearing on the ice. You do not need to buy new shoes just to Try Curling, simply give an existing pair of trainers a very good scrub clean. Outdoor shoes cannot be worn on the ice because any moisture and specks of dirt will damage the carefully-maintained playing surface. We also recommend that participants wear layers of warm loose clothing and possibly a hat and gloves.

Why Try Curling?
Not only is curling Scotland’s traditional winter sport, but it is also a very popular feature of the Winter Olympics & Paralympics. Did you know that two of Team GB’s 2022 Winter Olympic medalists are Edinburgh members? Not only could you be following in the footsteps of Bruce Mouat (Silver) and Jennifer Dodds (Gold), who both learnt to play with our Junior club, but you’ll find yourself enjoying an incredibly friendly and inclusive sport that is suitable for everyone. At Curl Edinburgh we have more than 1200 members from across central Scotland and the Borders, ranging in age from 8 to well over 80. Adaptable rules make the sport accessible to almost everyone.
