Edinburgh Magic – Edinburgh Christmas Events
There’s plenty of Edinburgh Magic in the enchanting capital this year. Every year Edinburgh transforms into a festive wonderland during Christmas, with twinkling lights, bustling markets and unique seasonal events.
If you’re planning to visit Edinburgh this Christmas, there’s a magical experience for everyone, here are my top picks…
Orocco Pier – Christmas Party Nights
I’ll be back at Orocco Pier in South Queensferry this Christmas – hosting their Christmas party nights! I had so much fun last year that I couldn’t say no to performing there again! I’ll be hosting the night, entertaining guests with my close-up magic and I’ve got a special surprise planned for after dinner.

Edinburgh International Magic Festival
The Edinburgh International Magic Festival is back again for its 15th year. It has a line-up of fun shows for all ages across the Christmas period. I’m personally looking forward to seeing Dan Bastianelli’s show ‘Deception’ and Magic Bros ‘Tinsel & Tricks’.

Wonder & Co – Magic Shop in Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s only magic shop, is a great place to purchase a few magical Christmas presents and stocking fillers. Located on Haymarket Terrace, this intriguing shop stocks the latest and greatest magic props and curiosities. Shopping here is a great way to support a local Edinburgh business this festive period.
If you can’t physically make it into the shop, you can order online and have it delivered straight to your door: https://wonderco.uk/
Christmas At The Botanics
The Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh is a magical place all year round, with lots of fun activities to do and lovely gardens to view. During the festive period the RBGE partner up with internationally acclaimed light trail producers ‘Culture Creative’ to create an amazing light spectacle. This year’s after-dark event will feature Christmas classics like the ‘Christmas Cathedral’ along with about 80 per cent of new installations, including the ‘Sea of Light’ and ‘Firework Trees’.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes!
All the best,
