Edinburgh Military Tattoo
Overview
2025 Update - The 2025 show will take place from 1 - 23 August.
Edinburgh Military Tattoo has become a world famous event since its inception in 1950. The 2 hour show features an entertaining mix of Bagpipers, Marching Bands, amazing military displays and mock battles with soldiers descending from the castle ramparts.
The whole event takes place on the esplanade in front of the castle which is a very striking venue, but even in August it can be a bit exposed so take something warm to wear.
Edinburgh Military Tattoo is extremely popular and is quickly sold-out. Tickets are available for sale in early December, so book your tickets as early as possible. We strongly recommend this event as it is a great spectacle with humour, drama and pride. The sight and sound of the massed pipe bands at the end of the night is a moving experience.
