Trinity House family tours in Edinburgh start at £4.50
Trinity House Family Tours are scheduled for 8 April and 5, 12, 19 and 26 August 2026 at Trinity House, 99 Kirkgate, Edinburgh EH6 6BJ. Tickets cost £4.50 to £7.50 per person, advance booking is required, and the experience is suitable for all ages.
The Forever Edinburgh Events listing describes the tours as a chance to explore Leith’s maritime history inside the former base of the Incorporation of Mariners and Shipmasters. It is the source for the dates, prices and visitor information below.
A family route through Leith’s seafaring past
The guided tour centres on Trinity House’s collection of maritime treasures. Younger visitors can follow an activity trail, discover some of the animals sailors encountered during their travels and handle historical objects once used at sea.
These elements offer different ways into the subject: visitors can look around the historic building and collection while also engaging with objects and activities. That should be useful for family groups containing children with different interests, without limiting the tour to younger visitors.
Five confirmed dates from April to August
Although the event page displays an overall span from 8 April to 26 August, its detailed schedule identifies five individual dates: 8 April, followed by 5, 12, 19 and 26 August 2026. Each date requires advance booking.
The listing also advertises a 10% admission discount for anyone with an EH6 postcode. Eligible visitors should raise the postcode offer while arranging admission so that its application can be confirmed before tickets are purchased.
What the access information means for families
Disabled access is available on the ground floor only. The building’s 16th-century vaults are reached by steep stairs, so visitors with limited mobility should take that restriction into account when deciding whether the available route will meet their needs.
The ground-floor access and restricted vault access are distinct details: the venue is not described as inaccessible throughout, but the listing does not indicate an accessible route into the vaults.
Getting to Trinity House and confirming your visit
Trinity House stands on Kirkgate at the Foot of Leith Walk. Regular Lothian Buses services travel to the area, while Edinburgh Trams passengers can disembark at the Foot of the Walk stop.
The source does not provide a start time, tour duration or specific bus service numbers. Visitors should therefore use the event page to book in advance and confirm their tour time, expected visit length, discount eligibility and any access requirements before travelling.
