The Holiday – Film With Live Orchestra

The Holiday – Film With Live Orchestra comes to Usher Hall on Tuesday 24 November 2026. The 7.30pm show pairs the film with a live orchestral performance, which makes it an easy fit for the early festive run-up in Edinburgh.

This sort of film concert tends to bring in a mixed crowd of film fans, Christmas event planners and regular Usher Hall visitors. If you are looking to bulk out the winter listings with something a bit different from a standard gig or theatre date, it is a strong pick.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

The setup is built around a screening of The Holiday with the score played live by an orchestra, so the experience sits somewhere between a cinema night and a concert. It is likely to appeal to anyone already in the mood for a seasonal city-centre night out.

Ticketmaster lists the show as over 12s only, with under-14s needing to be accompanied by an adult over 18.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. Availability can change, especially as Christmas events start to fill up.

Official ticket page

If you are planning ahead for November, this is the kind of one-night event that can quietly move from plenty of choice to limited seats.

Location

Usher Hall is on Lothian Road, close to the West End and city centre. It is one of Edinburgh’s best-known concert venues and regularly hosts orchestral, film, and one-off seasonal events.

Getting There

West End and Princes Street tram stops are both within walking distance, and there are frequent buses along Lothian Road. If you are coming from Waverley, allow a bit of extra time on foot as it is uphill for part of the route.

Our Tips

• Book earlier rather than later if you want a wider choice of seats.
• This one suits a pre-show dinner around Lothian Road or the West End.
• If you are travelling home by tram or train, check your last services before the show starts.
