Our top tips

If you don't have a ticket for Princes Street Gardens

Take advantage of the great FREE viewing areas available around the city. Inverleith park is a great place to enjoy the concert and has the concert broadcast over giant speakers. This is a great alternative to the gardens and you'll have one of the most impressive views of the Edinburgh skyline and the stunning illuminations.

Bring the family 

Our specially dedicated Bank of Scotland Family Viewing Area in Inverleith Park is ideal for the wee ones. A great way to get that "gardens" atmosphere for free. The entertainment starts at 7.00pm, is all completely free and you don't need a ticket. What's more, with a giant screen relaying the Scottish Chamber Orchestra's performance live from 9.00pm, you won't miss a thing!

Safety first

We make public safety one of our top priorities and ask that you do not bring glass or bottles to the event. Please also follow the safety advice given by police officers and stewards.
