View allAbout This Event
Edinburgh's Christmas Market returns to Princes Street Gardens from 14 November 2026, offering decorated chalets, festive stalls, bars and food huts. Visitors can experience the LNER Big Wheel and the 80 m Around the World Starflyer above the city centre. The market opens daily except Christmas Day, combining traditional gifts with views of the Edinburgh skyline.
One of the most iconic Christmas Markets in Europe, regularly topping the best of lists, and bustling with the excitement and anticipation of festive glee our Traditional Markets are a must visit. With beautifully decorated chalets selling one of a kind gifts, glittering decorations, the smells, tastes and sounds that fill even the biggest miser with Christmas spirit, every elf will find something to delight them as they wander between the stalls, bars and food huts. Home to the LNER Big Wheel and the 80m Around the World Starflyer, visitors can soar above the Markets getting a glimpse of the renowned Edinburgh skyline from a Santa-in-his-sleigh eyed view (you might even spot him out on a test run whilst you're up there). Open Daily (except Christmas Day), come at your leisure, come to buy gifts or to treat yourself, and come again and again for a mulled wine or a hot chocolate!
