New Year Pre Firework Party

Scottish Gas Murrayfield is hosting a New Year's Eve party on Thursday 31 December, from 6pm to 10pm. It's part of Edinburgh's Hogmanay, which is widely regarded as one of the world's greatest New Year celebrations, and it's billed as a family-friendly way to see out the year before the fireworks start.

The evening is built around a festive buffet, with a table magician working the room and a live ceilidh band and a traditional bagpiper providing the music. The night ends with an early New Year countdown, so you'll have the celebration sorted well before the midnight bells. It's designed for families, so it's a good shout if you've got younger ones with you and want to mark the occasion without staying up until the early hours.

The venue is Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on Roseburn Street, EH12 5PJ. It's Scotland's national rugby stadium and the home of Scottish Rugby, opened in 1925 and known for hosting international rugby matches, concerts and major events, with a capacity of over 67,000 (67,144). The party runs from 6pm to 10pm on New Year's Eve, so you're in and out in time for the main fireworks.
