Additional Information
Edinburgh’s Christmas Winter Wonderland opens its gates to another winter season of ice skating, live entertainment and fun for the whole family. Set in the stunning surroundings of East Princes Street Gardens, come and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere with twinkling lights in the trees, and set against the dramatic backdrop of Edinburgh's Castle.

We are delighted to announce the arrival of a La Gaiete, a traditional Belgian Spiegeltent. It will play host to a children's show “Jolly Jango Christmas” in the mornings and “White Magic”, a Christmas Cabaret for all the family in the evening. The evening show features magicians, Australian drag queens, local hip hop group Etch 'n' Sketch, slapstick comedy from the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppets and outrageous fun from Clive Nicholas Andrews.

La Gaiete will be open throughout the day service coffee and a full bar service.

The open air ice rink can accommodate over 300 skaters at any one time and there will be experienced skating coaches on hand. Situated next to our stunning ice rink, the Childrens ice rink is a safe place for the young ones. There’s more fun to be had in our new “snow cars” and a brand new “snow slide”.

Come along, get your skates on and be part of the magic that is Edinburgh's Christmas Winter Wonderland.
