St Columba's by the Castle is just a couple of minutes walk away from Edinburgh Castle, near The Royal Mile.

The address is: 14 Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh EH1 2PW

The main event starts at 5pm. Please don't be too late or you may miss the food!

The venue is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring a pup or two. Kids are also welcome.




The main event finishes around 9pm. If you'd like to join us for a drink, we'll be heading to The Safari Lounge (the back room) -- our local dog-friendly pub in Meadowbank. The address is: 21 Cadzow Place, Edinburgh EH7 5SN.

Unfortunately this venue is not child-friendly after 9pm.

If you want to stay in a hotel, there are plenty to choose from.
- Staying near the castle is probably going to be more expensive, but click here for a few hotel options near the castle.

We recommend booking hotels early if possible.
