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 this year for the first time both Calton Hill and Waverley Bridge will both have the concert broadcast to giant speakers. These are great alternatives to the gardens and you'll have some 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.
