    Advantages Advantages great atmosphere, excellent performances and not expensive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages outdoors in the rain and lots and lots amd lots of people

    I decided that I wanted to do something different for to usher in 2008 as opposed to the usual lurching around from bar to bar paying unwarranted entrance fees and hiked up prices for drinks whilst we await the inevitable countdown to the new year that is the normal annual celebration. After much deliberation, we finally settled on edinburgh. Surely if anyone can usher in the new year in style it's organisers of the annual hogmanay celebrations?! We were not disappointed. We bought tickets to the street party in advance for £5.00 over the internet on the official hogmanay sight and they were ... more

    Advantages Advantages cost effective, excellent three day entertainment.. fantastic

    Disadvantages Disadvantages portaloo's

    Its that time of year now when you need to decide what you are doing for New Year if you don't want to stop local. New Year tends to be just another day if you haven't got any plans but if you decide to do something it can make it a whole lot spectaluar. Last year, around about this time we decided to visited Edinburgh for Hogmanay, something I have always wanted to do. After looking through the net I realised that it wasn't going to be too expensive either. Edinburgh breaks New Year into 4 days with street paries prior to the new year event and also after parties to celebrate that the new ... more

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant, safe, family atmosphere

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cold!

    Happy New Year! Thought I would get into the spirit of the time of year and write a review on Edinburgh's Hogmanay street party - one of the best new years eve parties in the world ... although the fireworks were cancelled this year so if you did go hopefully reading this won't depress you too much! I have been a few times - Millennium, 2000-2001 and 2003-2004 when the fireworks were also cancelled so I know how you feel! Although it sounds from this like they get cancelled all the time they have only ever been cancelled twice and to be honest I still had a brilliant time even when the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Edinburgh is pretty

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Scotland is not very warm, the street party was a mess.

    I went to Edinburgh for Hogmany 2004-2005. What a mess. This year they tried to limit numbers to the street party by selling tickets through the First foot Club (though believe locals could get tickets for free) - the First Foot Club forces you to buy a years membership (about £20) and gives you free things like a beanie and a badge, when really all you want is the ticket. So we bought our tickets in advance, booked our hotels (they get a bit booked up around that time, so advance booking is a good idea) and off we went. Some friends of mine went up for New Years as well but were unable to get ... more
