As Edinburgh’s world-famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo returns to the Castle Esplanade this summer, The Witchery is offering one of the city’s most exclusive ways to experience the spectacle.

Situated at the gates of Edinburgh Castle within a historic building dating back to 1595, The Witchery has partnered with the Tattoo to create a luxury hospitality experience that combines exceptional Scottish dining with privileged access to one of the nation’s most celebrated events.

James Thomson’s The Witchery is the most spectacularly atmospheric dining destination in Edinburgh. Now in its 5th decade, the stunning décor, unique antiques, legendary food, and award-winning wine list have ensured The Witchery has become a much-loved, renowned Edinburgh institution. It invites guests to indulge in the rich baroque surroundings of the original oak-panelled dining room, or amongst the elegant candle-lit charms of the Secret Garden dining room, both adorned with antiques and originals. There are also nine theatrical and lavishly decorated suites – perfect for those looking to stay in the most opulent of settings. From gothic glamour to rooftop views – whichever suite guests choose – they are ensured to experience indulgence, luxury and roll top baths for two.

The evening begins with Champagne on arrival, before guests enjoy a three-course menu showcasing the very best seasonal Scottish game, beef and seafood, paired with sommelier-selected fine wines. Tea, coffee and traditional Scottish tablet complete the experience before guests are personally escorted by a Tattoo host through the ticket barriers, bypassing the main queues.

Guests then take their place in the prestigious Royal Gallery, enjoying unrivalled views of the performance against the dramatic backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. Following the show, they are invited to an exclusive drinks and canapé reception alongside fellow Royal Gallery guests, who often include dignitaries, senior military figures and notable guests from across the UK and beyond.

Complete with a bespoke Royal Gallery keepsake and souvenir programme, the experience offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Scotland’s most iconic summer event from one of Edinburgh’s most historic and celebrated addresses.
