The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

The Royal Edinburgh Military tattoo is an annual series of Military tattoos performed at the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle by British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and International military bands and display teams. This is held during the month of August each year which coincides with the Fringe Festival and International Festival. This really is a must when visiting Edinburgh and really provides for the experience of a lifetime. Dress warmly for the outdoors as the seating in the esplanade is uncovered.

Welshpool 1940's Weekend

Get yourselves ready to transport yourself back to the 1940s and imagine you are in a small town were evacuated children are arriving from the major industrial towns of the North West, soldiers are going back to barracks after being on leave, aircrew are heading off to airfields of Shropshire. So in the words of the song “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, and smile, smile, smile.”

This was the first time I have ever experienced such an event. And it won't be the last! We were so impressed with the entertainment, the bands were excellent! Everyone was jigging! The stalls were a sight to behold, an amazing selection on offer. I have never seen so much talented craft-work on display, from Fairy castles to bespoke Jewellery. We did dress up in Cosplay outfits, and felt very under dressed ha ha! The costumes people wore there were their own creations, and I was blown away to be honest! The whole event was so fantastic! we went on the Saturday, and watched the burning of the wicker man (Dragon) It was a very emotional memorable moment. I would highly recommend this event, not to be missed! I will be going in 2020 to be sure!

The event concludes with a gala red carpet awards ceremony which is open to all and is a chance for the public to see the next Scorsese or Street as they take the next step on their journey.

Well run by tireless volunteers, this festival is a packed 3 days, with all of the films those you're unlikely to see elsewhere (independent, lower budget, mostly not released in cinemas) and the quality is honestly extraordinarily high. Tickets are at least half the price of your standard cinema ticket, and some cover a selection of 4 or 5 brilliant short films for the ticket price, with others including insightful Q&A sessions with filmmakers. From the feisty 102 year-old looking after the wriggly 2 year-old great-grandchild to the emo teen, to the discerning documentary connoisseur, there really is something for everyone and we are SO LUCKY to have this on our doorstep!
