Newly decorated and with a new drinks menu and restaurant, Festival Village have brought nature into the heart of the city by partnering with two local independent brands - Smugglers Spirits and the Secret Garden Distillery.
The venue, which sits between the Princes Street Gardens and The Balmoral Hotel, has undergone a complete summer redecoration. New eye-catching bar designs add splashes of colour to the site, while spectacular floral displays contribute to a laid-back summer aesthetic. Add to this stunning views of famous landmarks such as Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh Castle and the Scott Monument, and Festival Village is the ideal setting to grab a refreshing pint or boozy slushie whilst taking photos for the ‘gram.
Festival Village are continuing to provide plenty of choice for hungry customers by partnering with local street food vendors Pizza Geeks, Say Cheese, Butcher Boy, and new kids on the block Brothers Poutinerie. Festival Village are a well-known live music venue, and support local up-and-coming musicians in their careers. Live music can be heard all summer at the Smugglers Stage from 2pm every day.
Festival Village is the perfect place to enjoy summer in the city, with locally sourced food and drink, music from up-and-coming local artists and an atmosphere unlike any other. Guests can even bring their four-legged friends, who’ll be welcomed with water, treats and plenty of attention. As a community of local independent Edinburgh businesses, Festival Village: Waverley captures Edinburgh’s summer festival feeling all year round.
