Edinburgh Hogmanay Snow Ball Ceilidh and Dinner 2021

Edinburgh's world-famous Hogmanay Snow Ball Ceilidh and Dinner returns to the capital on December 31st 2021!

Edinburgh Hogmanay Snow Ball Ceilidh and Dinner 2021

About Edinburgh Hogmanay Snow Ball Ceilidh and Dinner 2021

The world-famous Hogmanay Snow Ball #Ceilidh is back for a 9th year! Two glittering ballrooms, two live top ceilidh bands... and an atmosphere like no other event!

Run by an award-winning local team, the big ceilidh has frozen its ticket prices for a few years - they start at just £49.99 - and you can even opt to pay in two instalments!

The two dazzling ballrooms of the historic Assembly Rooms Edinburgh are dressed and lit in a magical winter theme - you'll be dancing under the city's grandest chandeliers!

It's a real ceilidh! It's loved by experts and beginners (as dances are 'called' or guided) but it's also a night of huge glamour and the perfect occasion and setting to dress up and shine after all the recent woes we've had!

Simultaneously in each ballroom our very carefully chosen live bands will entertain and lead you through reels and romance as you dance your way towards a new year!

One ballroom has a traditional style ceilidh all evening, while the other palatial room has a contemporary ceilidh later becoming more of a glamorous discotheque. Both are fab fun!

Options: VIP Lounges and Friends & Family Tables of 10 - but be quick for these!

AT THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS...

The Hogmanay Snow Ball Ceilidh 2021

A cherished Edinburgh night, and the venue for glamour and kilts! Treat yourself to a breathtaking night to end the old year and bring in the new in the capital's finest civic venue. There's literally nowhere else in town to compare. Live ceilidh bands in each magnificent ballroom: one traditional, one contemporary. One ballroom becomes a glitzy disco later in the night, while the other ballroom stays trad! Pop out to see the midnight fireworks, then rejoin things! What about a Friends & Family Celebration Table for 10? Or VIP Tickets for glittering Drawing Room access & extras?

AT THE SHERATON GRAND...

The Hogmanay Snow Ball Dinner Ceilidh - SOLD OUT

An acclaimed event, the Snow Ball's winter theme beautifies The Edinburgh Ballroom at the 5-star Sheraton Grand. Sip an arrival Whitetail Gin Winter Cocktail and anticipate a fine 4-Course Deluxe Dinner - top class Scottish produce and a menu created with originality by experts. A top ceilidh band will entertain, and the dance floor awaits! At midnight, head onto The Terrace to view the Castle fireworks then return to hot chocolate and snowballs - and more dancing! VIP Tickets and Tables add even more delightful touches and extras to an already very special occasion.
