Night Afore Disco Party / Concert in the Gardens

As Edinburgh’s Hogmanay continues to develop and enhance the Festival experience for all our guests, we have introduced a Safe Viewing Area at this year’s Night Afore Disco Party (30 Dec) and Concert in the Gardens (31 Dec) events within West Princes Street Gardens as part of our commitment to make our event the best place to spend your evening.

How to get to the safe viewing area

When you arrive at the Concert (West Princes Street Gardens), please ensure that you enter via the accessible entrance located at King’s Stables Road/St. Cuthbert’s Church.

Please be aware that you will have your tickets and bags checked by our stewards.

Please note that on the 31st of December, this entrance is out with the Street Party arena. On entry, please inform security that you are on the reservation list for the Safe Viewing Area, and they will provide you with directions to this area which is located on the ‘top path’ offering an amazing view of the stage with one of the best views of the Edinburgh’s Hogmanay fireworks.

There is also catering, toilets and a Premium Bar located on the top path at the East-end of the Gardens.

Once at the Safe Viewing Area, you will again present your tickets. At this point, your tickets will be scanned, and you and your party will then be issued with a wristband which will ensure re-entry should you choose to leave to purchase drinks or food.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION There is an accessible toilet to accommodate our guests with reduced mobility or medical conditions within the Safe Viewing Area. We kindly ask that any companions in your group use the toilet facilities located within the premium bar area. This will reduce the waiting time for the accessible toilet.
