A fantastic Outdoor Cinema is popping up in Edinburgh.

Join us at Edinburghs's iconic Ross Band Stand in Princes Street Gardens as you immerse yourself in a soulful tale of friendship and adventure.

The Illusionist (French: L'Illusionniste) is a 2010 animated film directed by Sylvain Chomet. Based on an unproduced script written by French mime, director and actor Jacques Tati in 1956, the film follows an out of work French Illusionist as he travels to London and Scotland and befriends a young girl named Alice. Filled with picturesque animated scenes of Edinburgh, it’s visually expressive, soulful and a true tribute to Edinburgh's historically beautiful city.

The evening promises to be full of specially crafted cocktails and good Scottish Scran, snacks and local delicacies. (Subject to licensing)
