The Edinburgh Fringe Festival Cancelled for 2020:

For over 70 years the Edinburgh Festival Fringe has been the largest arts festival in the world. The Fringe is a truly open access festival where no one is denied entry, making it the largest platform on earth for creative freedom. In 2018 the Fringe spanned 25 days and featured more than 55,000 performances of 3,548 different shows in 317 venues. In 2019 the event will run from 2nd August until 26th August 2019.

During this time accommodation in Edinburgh is scarce and expensive. An alternative is to book accommodation outside Edinburgh. The east coast of Fife has many hotels and bed and breakfast facilities ideal for use as a base for visiting Edinburgh. Easy access to the city is provided by the East Coast Railway Line and a regular bus service. Buses stop just yards from the Kingswood Hotel.

The Edinburgh International Festival Fireworks Concert:

The Edinburgh Festival 2019 comes to a close on Monday 26th August with a spectacular concert and firework display. Over 400,000 fireworks will provide a display set to live orchestral music played by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Tickets are available to get you into Princess Street Gardens for the concert but you do not have to buy tickets to view the Fireworks. The fireworks can be seen from any vantage point in which you can see the castle. On a clear night, we can even see them across the water from The Kingswood Hotel. The concert starts at 9.30pm.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo:

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an annual series of military tattoos performed by British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and international military bands and artistic performance teams on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle each August as part of the Edinburgh Festival.

The Tattoo in 2019 will take place over the period 2-24 August with performances on Monday to Friday at 9.00pm and on Saturday at 7.30pm and 10.30pm. There is no performance on Sundays.

All last evening performances end with a firework display (weather permitting) and Saturday Evening shows include an extended fireworks display.

Edinburgh Hogmanay:

The Edinburgh Hogmanay Street Party is the highlight of three days of spectacular events, live bands, torchlight procession, top stars and fireworks to welcome in 2019. Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Street Party is one of the world’s greatest New Year celebrations. The firework display on a clear New Years Eve can be seen from The Kingswood Hotel and sometimes adds a bit of spectacle to our own Hogmanay celebrations.
