Christmas Santa

EDINBURGH S CHRISTMAS SET TO SPARKLE THIS YEAR WITH NEW EVENTS This Christmas, Edinburgh will burst to life in a blaze of festive magic and sparkle with the addition of new events and attractions to the bill of traditional favourites. From Thursday 22 November, the capital will roll out a festive programme across the city and, for the first time, into Leith. The new Christmas additions will be headlined by a spectacular aerial performance of the popular classic Twas The Night Before Christmas.

The city s festivities, which traditionally draw hundreds of thousands to the iconic Big Wheel, ice skating and Christmas markets in Princes Street Gardens, will also include the addition of a children s ice rink, an ice gallery with an ice bar serving hot chocolate and a brand new Highland Village Christmas Market.

Nickie Gott, Managing Director of She s Gott It!, who have been recently appointed by the City of Edinburgh Council to produce Edinburgh s Christmas this year, said, Edinburgh is one of the world s most romantic cities and particularly magical at Christmas. We aim to bring something to the city that will complement the traditional festivities and enhance the experience for all ages.

With shopping, food and great entertainment all set against the backdrop of historic Edinburgh, we are planning a Christmas which is not just for the thousands of visitors, but also something the residents can be proud of. We can t wait to roll it out! The highlight of Edinburgh s Christmas 2007 will be a ground-breaking outdoor performance of the classic poem, Twas The Night Before Christmas.
