Bear Scotland - Queensferry Crossing Ballot

A tour like no other

Ever wondered what it looks like inside the Queensferry Crossing?

As part of Doors Open Day Festival 2026, BEAR Scotland is giving 180 people the chance to go behind the scenes and experience one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks from a viewpoint few people ever get to see.

Don’t miss your chance to experience the bridge deck up close. Enter now for a guided tour on Saturday 26 September.

Enter ballot

Places are limited and will be allocated by ballot. It’s free to enter, and during the sign-up process you’ll be invited to make an optional donation to CHAS.

Strictly one ballot entry per person. Multiple ballot entries will not be counted. Ballot will close on the 21st August.

Donating is completely your choice and will not affect your ballot entry.

Every gift will help CHAS support children with life-shortening conditions and their families across Scotland.

Everyone who attends either a tour or visits the Forth Bridges education centre on 26 September will have the chance to enter a prize draw for one of five trips for two to the top of the Queensferry Crossing’s main towers, with all funds raised also going to CHAS.

CHAS will use your information to manage your ballot entry, process the ballot and, if applicable, process your donation. If you do not opt in to hear from us, your data will be deleted after the ballot is completed. For full details, see our Privacy Notice.

Places will be allocated via a fair and random ballot where demand exceeds availability.

Applications will be collected via a secure internal form and only minimal personal data will be processed. The draw will be conducted using a random selection method, with an audit record retained. Personal data will be deleted once the process is complete. The process is administered in line with CHAS data protection and information governance standards.

The ballot is open to people aged 18 and over only. If you are successful, you may bring one guest aged 12 or over. Guests aged under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Under 18s are not eligible to enter the ballot themselves.
