An Evening with Sir Chris Hoy

An Evening with Sir Chris Hoy comes to Usher Hall on Saturday 28 November 2026. The 7.30pm event brings one of Scotland’s most decorated Olympians to the Edinburgh stage for a live evening of stories and reflection.

This has obvious local appeal. Hoy’s cycling career, Olympic success and Scottish sporting profile make it a strong fit for both the Sports Events and Talks categories, while Usher Hall gives it a suitably prominent city-centre setting.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

Expect a staged conversation or live talk format rather than a sports screening. The draw is Hoy’s career, Olympic experience, and wider story as one of Britain’s best-known cyclists.

For Edinburgh audiences, this should be one of the stronger late-November sports listings, especially for cycling fans and families interested in Scottish sporting achievement.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets are available through Culture Edinburgh. Check the live listing for current prices and availability before booking.

Location

Usher Hall is on Lothian Road, close to Princes Street, the West End and the city centre. It is one of Edinburgh’s main venues for seated concerts, talks, and major one-night events.

Getting There

West End and Princes Street tram stops are both walkable, while buses along Lothian Road are frequent. Haymarket is often the easiest rail station for visitors coming from outside the city.

Our Tips

• This is a strong option for cycling fans, sports followers, and families with older children.
• Book early if you want central seats at Usher Hall.
• If you are travelling from outside Edinburgh, check Saturday evening train times before the event.
