The Edinburgh Blue Balls is a weekly men’s mental health and cold water dipping group in Portobello. Taking place on 14 November 2025, the Edinburgh Blue Balls Annual Launch is a bold, honest, and beautifully raw collection of stories and portraits capturing the men, the moments, and the community that has grown from the cold waters of Portobello into something much bigger.
Held at The Pitt in Granton, come along for an evening of conversation, photography, and community, with food and drinks available to buy from The Pitt Street Food Market. You’ll also have the chance to hear from some of the men featured in the Annual during a relaxed panel conversation.
