A full weekend of Christmas creativity and fun for the local community, Summerhall’s Big Christmas Weekend begins on Friday 6th with the annual, sell-out Christmas Ceilidh in the Main Hall run by the esteemed Edinburgh Ceilidh Club. Then on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th, the building hosts a massive Christmas Market boasting over 72 stalls with a huge variety of artisanal and hand-crafted wares from statement earrings to plush crocheted animals perfect for Christmas gifting, or as a little treat for yourself. Visitors can expect a pet photography pop-up; for the 10th year seasonal carols from the community choir, Summerhall Singers; local independent sandwich shop Albys supplying hotdogs; Steam Bunny with their festive bao buns; On The Piste return with authentic raclette, hot drinks and their famous Jägermeister Slushies and much, much more!
