About Edinburgh Castle Concerts

Edinburgh Castle Concerts are staged on the Castle Esplanade, an open space at the entrance to Edinburgh Castle. During the summer concert season, the Esplanade is transformed into a tiered outdoor venue overlooking the city.

Its elevated position gives the concerts a distinctive sense of place, although guests should prepare for an outdoor evening in changeable Scottish weather. The route to the venue follows Castlehill, a steep and cobbled street, so comfortable footwear is recommended.

The Esplanade also features in Seat Unique’s guide to the most iconic outdoor concert venues in the UK.

What are events at Edinburgh Castle Concerts like?

An evening at Edinburgh Castle Concerts begins before you reach your seat. The walk through Edinburgh’s Old Town leads towards the Castle, where the Esplanade is converted into an outdoor performance space with tiered seating facing the stage.

As the venue is open to the elements, the weather can play a part in the experience, and you should arrive prepared with suitable clothing and footwear. Hospitality arrangements depend on the concert and package selected. Previous guests have been able to choose from reserved seating, covered areas, hosted dining rooms and private spaces, although no specific benefit is included unless it appears in your package description.
