About Bairns Afore
BE with your clan
Enjoy the Edinburgh’s Hogmanay experience as a family and still have the kids tucked up in bed afore the bells at Bairns Afore, the best family gig imaginable.
Join legendary comic duo and heroes of children’s TV, Dick and Dom, as they battle it out behind the decks to see whose tunes are the best!
The gig is topped off by its very own spectacular ‘midnight’ fireworks moment, allowing families to take their children home to bed before the late-night revelling gets underway.
