75,000 New Year revellers fly to Edinburgh for party season.
Hogmanay influx to bring busiest ever New Year for Edinburgh Airport.
New figures have been welcomed by Gordon Dewar and Edinburgh City Council showing that Edinburgh Airport is set to have its greatest ever number of arriving passengers in the pre-Hogmanay period.
Why should families with babies, toddlers and young children miss out on the Hogmanay celebrations? At BLD, midday is the new midnight! So grab your tiny dancers, get kilted and booted or don your favourite Christmas jumper and join us for some Hogmanay dayclubbing!
The resident club DJ takes a celebratory look back over the music of 2015 and spins nostalgic pop floor-fillers from the days before parenthood struck, for all the generations to enjoy together.
Expect a Hogmanay twist with a short family ceilidh dance, Auld Lang Syne practise run (30th, before Torchlight Procession), celebrate ‘the bells’ with the Australians as we countdown to midnight in Queensland (31st), or come first footing with us (2nd). Includes facepainting, dress-up, bubbles, balloons, dancefloor games and giveaways, chill-out play area and festive crafts plus a licensed bar for parents.
20% off for those with an EH postcode. Prices from £10. Tickets online here or at the Box Office in St Andrew Square. (Do check with the organisers but it appears that there are no tickets till 2 January)
