EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, 21 OCTOBER – Johnnie Walker Princes Street, with its stunning views of Edinburgh Castle, will release tickets for the Capital City’s must attend Hogmanay party at 4pm today.

Partygoers are advised to act fast, as tickets are expected to be snapped up almost instantly. Those who secure themselves a space will be treated to live music including a DJ set from Turn the Tables, as well as finding themselves with the ultimate vantage point to enjoy the legendary firework display from neighbouring Edinburgh Castle.

“The whole menu is amazing, but the cocktail “wines” alone are worth joining us for as they’re just so creative and taste incredible, and Turn the Tables Hogmanay soundtrack is not to be missed. We’re looking forward to hosting you all for what’s sure to be an unforgettable night.”
