Muddy Church

Muddy Church is an open invitation to step outside, explore, and wonder. It’s not about gathering in a building but setting off on an adventure—walking, searching, noticing, and making discoveries along the way.

At Muddy Church in Pittencrieff Park, families follow a trail through the park, finding hidden markers, solving puzzles, and pausing to take in the world around them. There’s no rush, no right way to do it—just an opportunity to slow down, look closer, and share the journey.

It’s for anyone who loves being outdoors, whether you think of yourself as religious or not. It’s about curiosity, connection, and finding meaning in the everyday—sometimes in the mud, sometimes in the wind, always in the wonder of the world around us.

Next Muddy Church:

‘Whatever the Weather!’
