Spring Festival

The Edinburgh Spring Festival is a fantastic three day event bringing together thousands of young people from around the world. The event is enjoyed by performers and spectators alike, with everyone celebrating youth happiness, heritage and cultural diversity.

The festival began in 2003 and has become a big part of the already busy calendar of events that Edinburgh has to offer. Each year the line-up has included a wonderful variety of performers from across the globe offering lots of free, family friendly entertainment. Past events at the Edinburgh Spring festival have included a massive Easter Egg hunt, face painting and 'Cuddle Corner' where children can see and learn about different animals.

The festival is well worth a visit - packed full of activities, it is guaranteed to keep families entertained. Spring festival accommodation should be booked in advance as Easter is a popular time for visits to Edinburgh. For a break with the family, self-catering accommodation provides you with the perfect base to enjoy the festival and the flexibility to come and go as you please.
