The Venue

The venue is situated within walking distance of the city centre, east of the Saltmarket. If you are travelling to the venue by taxi you should ask to for the Greendyke Street entrance to the Green.  This site is across a fairly large open air area  with slopes which may be prohibitive to those with difficulty walking longer distances. There are dropped kerbs at crossings, no steps and paved pathways throughout the site.

The World Pipe Band Championships don't require a Festival site ticket but are ticketed separately. You can find out more and access tickets here
