Outdoor Office Day - Celebration & Co-Work
Join The Outsiders, in partnership with The Melting Pot and Business Gateway to explore how time outdoors fuels creativity and innovation!
Outdoor Office Day (Thursday 11th June 2026), is a global campaign to get everyone thinking about spending time outdoors in the workday.
Join The Outsiders, Edinburgh's friendliest community of freelancers and solopreneurs, in partnership with The Melting Pot, Scotland's home for social innovation, and Edinburgh Business Gateway, for a day that will get you thinking about time outdoors as a tool for innovation.
Fun and productive, we'll enjoy time outdoors together, think about how we can utilise time outdoors for creativity and innovation, and have a nature-connected co-work.
Afterwards, we'll even head to Bellfield Brewery for a beverage together.
