Once you know which date works best for your group and what type of venue you’re looking for, start searching for a location as soon as possible. Many venues are already booked in advance during the holiday season, so it’s best to secure one as early as possible if you want to be able to choose your preferred location. Also, if you start early, you may be able to take advantage of some early-bird deals.
If you like to be transported to another world once you step into the venue, you may find Gaucho Edinburgh to be just the place for that. Inspired by Argentina’s forests, this place will stun your guests with its beauty. Intercontinental Edinburgh The George is a venue for all lovers of history and elegance. Nestled amongst a UNESCO World Heritage area, this is the place to go if you want to wow your dinner guests. And if you’re looking for a truly unique Christmas dinner experience, hiring a room at BT Murrayfield Stadium is the perfect choice.
With many of the city’s venues being located in the Old and New Town, it’s easy to stumble into a variety of different spaces and Christmas activities while in Edinburgh. The most prominent one is the Christmas market, which sets the tone for the seasonal spirit. Ever-growing and now spilling onto George Street, here’s where you can try many traditional Scottish winter warmers and treats. Meanwhile, in East Princes Street Gardens, you can sample yet more festive delicacies, as well as take a ride on the Ferris wheel or helter-skelter.
In the historic centre, you can experience a classical Christmas vibe, including carol singers and Christmas services at Greyfriars Kirk and St. Giles’ Church. Take a stroll down the cobbled streets lined with shops and boutiques, or walk up to the castle and wind the clock back to Victorian times while enjoying the spectacular views.

the venue was amazing , all dressed up for Christmas. We loved the size of the space and having our own bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the evening. Drinks tokens were great to have.
Excellent venue for our works Xmas party. We booked an external caterer, magician and DJ and the venue was perfect for 30 of us. Arron and his team were excellent and very accommodating - amazing service all night.
This was a fabulous gem to discover in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. Close to local transport routes and in a vibey area of the city I could not have been better served than to host our private function in their private venue the Wee Tap. Tadgh was a fabulous host on the evening and all our needs were meticulously cared for before we arrived - and the kitchen staff should be commended on tasty pub fare - it was all and all a succesful event for us. Tagvenue played a key role in identifying the perfect venue for us and want to highlight that as well.
Fantastic venue! The staff at the Odeon West were extremely helpful. The manager Emma Sargent went above and beyond to support our event and make sure it happened. The customer service and support that was provided was nothing short of exceptional. We will be back for future events and will be recommending the Odeon as a premier venue. Thank you for all your support Odeon Luxe West and most of all Emma Sargent, it was a pleasure working with you.
- the staff serving the meal were exceptional - extremely pleasant, very courteous and very attentive. We all agreed they were fantastic. We would have put 5 stars for this - we dropped a star for the wider management issues noted in the Negatives section. - the venue was beautifully decorated and presented
