Castlehill, Edinburgh EH1 2NG
Edinburgh Castle hosts festive afternoon tea on selected dates across December 2026 and into early January 2027, combining a castle visit with seasonal cakes and savouries.
The tea experience takes place at Edinburgh Castle and advance booking is required for a chosen date and sitting. It is a timed dining experience rather than a walk-in café offer.
Sittings are offered every 30 minutes from 11am to 2.30pm on participating days. The standard non-member adult price listed is £70 including castle admission, with other options for children and members.
