EXPERIENCE A SLICE OF THE ROYAL EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO AT THE SHERATON GRAND HOTEL & SPA
The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa unveils two exciting Sunday Lunch Events in partnership with the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa has partnered with the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo to bring the spirit of this tremendous festival spectacle to its One Square restaurant.
On Sunday, 3rd August some of The Shetland Fiddlers, who are performing in this year’s Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, will entertain One Square’s lunch guests with a selection of tunes from their lively repertoire. In addition to providing a short overview on the unique tradition of Shetland Fiddling, they will hold a fun, interactive “sing along” session.
Later in the month (Sunday, 17th August), it’s the turn of the Tattoo Fox – a secret fan of the event who lives on the Castle’s Esplanade – to engage with One Square’s younger guests. Alasdair Hutton, the author and narrator of the Tattoo Fox, along with the illustrator Stref, will bring the world-renowned event to life through the eyes of the Tattoo Fox using extracts and drawings from the book. They will also unveil an exclusive preview from their sequel “The Tattoo Fox and Friends”. This event is particularly suitable for families, as children will receive a complimentary Tattoo Fox activity pack.
Tristan Nesbitt, the General Manager of the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa said: “Our Sunday Lunches in One Square are very popular with locals as well as visitors to the city, and we are delighted to bring these to life through our partnership with the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Our guests will enjoy an enhanced festival experience as they tuck into a delicious buffet lunch with a chocolate fountain, live music and Edinburgh Castle and the surrounding cultural quarter as the backdrop.”
These two events in August take place from 1pm until 2.30pm in One Square at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa. Sunday Lunch costs £29.00 per adult including freshly brewed tea and coffee, and £14.50 per child (6-14 years old). Children aged five and under eat free. Reservations must be made in advance, please call One Square on 0131 221 6422 or email info@onesquareedinburgh.co.uk.
