What's On in Edinburgh

Do you love all things scary? Learn about the darkest moment in Scottish history through a spine-chilling immersive experience. You'll be taken on a virtual tour from Ayrshire to Edinburgh, learning about everything from cannibals to witches and ghosts while en route. 

Edinburgh Oktoberfest is popping up at West Princes Street Gardens, bringing with them a giant tent adorned with authentic Oktoberfest decorations. Grab yourself a seat at one of the long tables to knock back massive beers and scoff down tasty bratwurst.

Looking for fun things to do in Edinburgh's Old Town? The Three Sisters is coming in hot with its mega lineup of events. From the Bad Boy pub quiz every Tuesday to the live comedy on Thursday and cabaret musicals on Sunday, there's more than you can shake a stick at.

Edinburgh events don't get much better than tickets to Ballie Ballerson's ball pits and seasonal activities. Think diving into all those balls, listening to tunes from the DJ and sipping on nostalgia-inducing cocktails while you're at it.

Every Wednesday, YO! is holding its sushi school at its outpost in the New Town. Not only will you get to create a whole load of tasty Japanese plates, but also try them out for yourself. You'll refine your fish-cutting skills, learn the history of sushi and so much more.

Regularly drawing some of the most talented ceilidh bands in the country, the Edinburgh Ceilidh Club throws weekly parties that are infectiously fun. If you were looking to blow off some steam after a tricky day at the office this is where you need to be.

Steeped in comedy heritage, the Scottish capital is known for attracting some of the funniest stand-ups around, and The Monkey Barrel is no different. Taking place every Friday and Saturday, this event is hosted by the hilarious and (be warned) interactive Rick Molland.
