The Castle of Light returns for its fifth year at Edinburgh Castle!

With an all-new show for 2024, you’ll walk in famous footsteps, dance through the ages in Crown Square and, for the first time since the 17th century, you will be able to “fire” Mons Meg! From mythical creatures to forgotten tales, you’ll see Edinburgh’s stories brought to life on the castle walls, enjoy immersive displays and interactive installations — and even meet Rex the loveable lion in the Great Hall.

Please note that some of the terrain is uneven and that stairs are included in the route — however, there is an alternative route that is stair-free.

This event is open for the carer and their cared-for person to come together.
