During the day schools from throughout Edinburgh will be invited to enjoy a concert in the Ross Theatre in the run-up to the Fireworks Concert. The Edinburgh Secondary Schools Orchestra and members of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s Vibe project present a special programme of live music.
Due to the popularity of the concert you can take advantage of a limited number of Priority Entry tickets, gaining access to the Gardens at 7.00pm, a full half hour before the gates open to standard ticket holders at 7.30pm.
As ever, ticket holders for the Ross Theatre don't need to rush to secure their spot and so can take their seats once gates are open to everyone.
Please note, tickets must be collected from Hub Tickets no later than 8.30pm on Monday 31 August.
