Once again East Princes Street Gardens hosts one of the UK’s most stunning Christmas Markets, offering a range of craft and food and drink stalls as well as rides and attractions, all against the backdrop of the iconic Edinburgh Castle. The team were invited along to try some of the exciting rides and […]
I’ve recently been reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with my daughter and really rekindled my own love of the series. As we’ve not watched any of the films yet, she really was discovering the plot for the first time and it’s been so much fun listening to […]
It feels like festive light shows and illuminations are popping up everywhere at the moment. Christmas at the Botanics and Edinburgh Zoo’s Chinese lanterns are now established events, both in their third year, but newcomers to the light scene are rivalling these old favourites for the top spot.
