The Loony Dook

FULL EVENT & TICKET DETAILS WILL BE AVAILABLE LATE SUMMER 2012 

Tuesday 1 January 2013
You don’t have to be a loony, mad or brave… but it helps.

Celebrate 2013 by taking part in the breathtaking Queensferry Loony Dook, the annual splash in the River Forth. Over the past 25 years, thousands of people have taken the plunge raising thousands of pounds for charities across the UK. Take part in the Dookers Parade through the High Street finding in the Freezing Forth under the gaze of the iconic Forth Bridges.

Spectators welcome to cheer on the brave Loony Dookers at various free vantage points along the route, or down at the beach.
