The Neighbourgood Market is proud to announce they have been awarded the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens by the City of Edinburgh Council for up to 4 years.
Suitably called ‘Neighbourgood Gardens’ the operators from Stockbridge will be operating the bandstand from the 23rd of July to the 31st of August. Following their similar concept in Stockbridge, Neighbourgood Gardens will feature independent, Scottish food and drink traders as well as performances every day on the bandstand by visiting groups and artists through the festival period.
Cold Town Brewery is supporting Neighbourgood Gardens, building on its successful partnership with the team at their original Stockbridge site. Named after Calton Hill – just a short walk from the new location – visitors to Neighbourgood Gardens will be able to enjoy a wide range from Cold Town Brewery’s award-winning beer portfolio, bringing a locally brewed Edinburgh beer offering to one of the city’s most iconic outdoor venues.
Preston Mommsen of Neighbourgood Market said “We are really excited to be awarded this iconic venue underneath Edinburgh Castle. Princes Street Gardens is a wonderful location and we are working hard with Cold Town Brewery to ensure we add to the overall offering of the gardens with local, Scottish food, drink and musical performances”.
Irma Jansen of Cold Town Brewery said “We are absolutely thrilled to be extending our partnership with the team behind Neighbourgood Market at this exciting new location, Neighbourgood Gardens. As an Edinburgh-based brewery, it’s fantastic to see Cold Town’s beers being served in such a landmark setting during one of Edinburgh’s busiest and most exciting times of the year”.
Neighbourgood Gardens will be open 7 days per week, from 11am to 10pm. The venue will be hosting free to enter musical performances each day, Fringe finale shows, a youth music day in collaboration with charitable organisations, and much more to be announced.
