Christmas Events
Edinburgh is the perfect destination to celebrate the festive season. From Christmas markets to the Edinburgh Castle's Castle of Light, the city is full of seasonal activities. The Christmas Market in the Princes Street Gardens is a great place to explore, with a selection of stalls selling handmade gifts and traditional treats. The Castle of Light show is a must-see, featuring stunning light displays and music.
For those looking for a more traditional festive experience, The Festival Theatre's Pantomimes are a great way to get into the spirit of the season and if we're lucky, we may even get a sprinkling of snow.
Below are just some of the events that are happening across Edinburgh during the festive period.
