Edinburgh Festival Theatre Events
13-29 Nicolson Street, Edinburgh EH8 9FT
Cinders! runs at Festival Theatre Edinburgh from Friday 11 to Thursday 24 December 2026. Scottish Ballet lists the Edinburgh Christmas run before the production moves on to other Scottish venues.
The show gives Edinburgh a major festive dance listing, sitting neatly between family theatre, ballet and Christmas-night-out territory.

What To Expect
Cinders! is Scottish Ballet’s take on the Cinderella story, staged for a Christmas run at one of Edinburgh’s biggest theatre venues.
The Festival Theatre setting makes this a good pick for anyone looking for a festive show that is a little different from a standard pantomime.
Tickets & Entry
Tickets are listed through Scottish Ballet and Capital Theatres. Availability can change across the run, especially around Christmas week.

Location
The Festival Theatre is on Nicolson Street, close to the Old Town, Southside, and the University of Edinburgh. It is a regular home for ballet, opera, musicals, and touring productions in the city.
Getting There
Edinburgh Waverley is about a 15-minute walk away. Buses serve South Bridge, Nicolson Street and Clerk Street, which makes public transport the easiest option for most evening performances.
Our Tips
- Check whether your chosen performance is a matinee or evening show before booking.
- Christmas dates can move quickly, so compare availability across the full run.
- Leave extra time for Southside traffic and busy pavements in December.
