Ross Theatre and Princes Street Gardens

Bank of Scotland Fireworks Concert
Sunday 6 September 9.00pm

Princes Street Gardens lie in the heart of the city at the foot of Edinburgh Castle. Every Festival they play host to the Bank of Scotland Fireworks Concert, where thousands of spectators gather to watch the Scottish Chamber Orchestra perform in the Ross Theatre. The music is synchronised with the spectacular fireworks display which lights the sky above. 

Parking:

  • Vehicle access to the neighbouring streets is restricted on the evening of the Fireworks Concert. The nearest available parking is at the NCP car park on Castle Terrace.

  • Level access to the Ross Theatre is approximately 200 metres from the King's Stables Road entrance. To avoid congestion on the access paths you are advised to arrive before 8.00pm.

  • There are disabled toilet facilities in the disabled viewing area and behind the Ross Theatre. A wheelchair accessible toilet is also available in the public toilets at the West End of the Gardens.
