Absolutely! In Edinburgh, where the weather can be as unpredictable as a game of shinty, having a plan B is crucial for any event. Fear not, though, as most outdoor venues are kitted out with cozy indoor alternatives. Picture this: a sudden drizzle starts, and you're whisked away under elegant marquees or covered roofs, keeping the fun going without a hitch. Or, if the heavens really open, you'll be welcomed into charming indoor spaces. Pro tip: confirm these arrangements with the venue manager when booking your preferred location.
