A venue with wow-factor

Panoramic views, stunning surroundings overlooking the islands of the Firth of Forth and sandy beaches of North Berwick, a five star building like no other, and an excellent in-house catering team make the Scottish Seabird Centre a venue with a difference.

Weddings, corporate functions, launch events, photoshoots, business meetings and private parties, including children's Puffin Parties are all on offer at this award-winning attraction.

We are fully licensed for marriages to take place in the Centre and there are a range of unique photo opportunities in the surrounding the historic Auld Kirk, Anchor Green and the harbour.

We offer training away days, small conferences and events with half day or day delegate packages and a menu of add-on activities and events can also be incorporated, such as wildlife sightseeing trips around the islands, fishing trips, ranger-led activites and team building ideas.

We can also help with accommodation for your guests or delegates. The Centre is available for evening hire from 7.00pm (summer) and 5.00pm (winter), as well as day hire on certain weekdays during our off-peak season.
