Planning a festive trip to the capital? Edinburgh’s Christmas market opened yesterday, Saturday 14th November, bringing seasonal stalls, sparkling lights and fairground attractions back to East Princes Street Gardens.
The market runs until Sunday 3rd January 2027, giving visitors plenty of time to enjoy some Christmas shopping or a visit after New Year. It will be closed on Christmas Day.
Entry is FREE, so you can browse the gifts and decorations and soak up the atmosphere without an admission ticket. Food, drinks and rides cost extra, including the Big Wheel and towering Starflyer.
For anyone travelling from Lanarkshire, it’s an opportunity to combine the markets with some city-centre shopping. Allow extra time during busy periods and check opening hours before setting off, as these vary on selected dates.
Who’s planning a visit for a hot chocolate and a wander beneath the Christmas lights? ✨
