SCOTLAND’S NEW YEAR FESTIVAL
FOREWORD
A very warm welcome to you in our third year of producing Edinburgh’s
Hogmanay, as we invite you to BE TOGETHER this Hogmanay.
Now more than ever is the time to celebrate ‘togetherness’ and what better way than surrounded
by people from all over the world at New Year? From performers to audiences, this festival is about
coming together, being together, sharing experiences together and sharing the start of a new year
arm in arm and side by side.
BE ready to party from the 30th December as we return with a programme of events at the
magnificent McEwan Hall. From the return of hit clubbing experience Symphonic Ibiza on 30th
December featuring Ibiza DJs and a live orchestra, to the first party in 2020 celebrating the new
year along with the Southern Hemisphere at G’Day 2020 with Kylie Auldist on 31 December. Jazz
legends Ronnie Scott’s Big Band will play a gala concert on 31st December to give an alternative
lead up to the bells and renowned DJ Judge Jules will spin into the wee small hours at our first ever
Official After-Party.
BE a trailblazer at the Torchlight Procession in partnership with VisitScotland. The historic event
culminates in Holyrood Park as torchbearers create a symbol to share with the world: this year two
figures holding hands - both residents and visitors to Scotland opening their door to the world and
saying BE together.
BE in the thick of it at the world famous Street Party hosted by Johnnie Walker, with a brilliantly
eclectic programme of music, street theatre and spectacle. This year’s music stages include the
legendary Marc Almond, a DJ set from Glasgow’s Arielle Free from BBC Radio 1 and an appearance
from Scottish indie rock heroes Idlewild. Putting the party onto the street are an amazing
international collection of giant puppets, jugglers, hip hop dancers, fire artists and drummers
who will come together to entertain us all. And let’s not forget superstar DJ Mark Ronson who
headlines the concert in the gardens and who’s also creating a soundtrack to accompany the world
famous midnight firework display.
We hope you have a very Happy Hogmanay together!

together Welcome to Edinburgh’s Hogmanay where you are part of the world’s biggest celebration to bring in the New Year. Our three-day festival has something for everyone. See the city glow as the spectacular Torchlight Procession in partnership with VisitScotland parades through the historic streets on 30th. Soak up the unique atmosphere of our world-famous Street Party on the big night itself or get a ticket to the hottest show in the country, our Concert in the Gardens, headlined by superstar DJ, Mark Ronson. If you’re feeling brave join fellow revellers for the Loony Dook on 1st of January. Blow away the cobwebs and kick-start the New Year with a trip to South Queensferry and a dip in the icy waters of the Forth. Hogmanay refreshes and reenergises each year but also continues to honour our long held traditions. I hope you have a fantastic time ‘first footing’ with us and wish you all a happy and healthy 2020.

Night Walk for Edinburgh returns.
Pick up a screen and a pair of headphones and set off for an hour’s adventure with the artist’s

surrealistic poetry, even murder mystery, the Night Walk is layered with history, invention and
memories.

38 0131 510 0395 | EDINBURGHSHOGMANAY.COMHOW TO GET HERE
Getting to Edinburgh couldn’t be easier.
Not only is Edinburgh Airport the country’s fastest growing airport, it’s also
the country’s most connected, with flights arriving from places as close
as London and Manchester and as far away as New York and Abu Dhabi. The
city’s trams or Airlink bus connect the airport directly with the city centre
running regular services.
If you’re travelling by rail, the city’s two main stations - Edinburgh Waverley
and Edinburgh Haymarket – welcome passengers from the south coast of
England and the northernmost points of Scotland.
When you’re here, it couldn’t be easier to get around. Lothian Buses and
Edinburgh Trams will get you around the city easily, or there’s the option
of hailing an iconic black cab, with great service. For everything else,
Edinburgh’s compact size means one of the best ways to get to know it is
by foot.

Carbon offsetting
As part of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability,
and alongside efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the festival itself, in a first for
the Edinburgh Festivals, we are inviting our audiences to offset their journey to Edinburgh’s
Hogmanay in 2019. All donations to the environmental fund, which are calculated in
accordance with the method of transport and length of journey, are made at the point of
purchase when booking tickets via edinburghshogmanay.com and will be used to create new
woodlands in Scotland in partnership with Forest Carbon. All woodlands are independently
audited and certified under the UK Woodland Carbon Code.

VOLUNTEER
The Hogmanay Ambassador programme exists to give individuals the opportunity
to be at the heart of one of the most iconic New Year celebrations in the world.
Would you like to be part of a team that unleashes the spirit of Scotland within the crowds of
Edinburgh’s Hogmanay 19, enriching the experience of the Torchlight Procession and Street Party for
all?
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers who want to champion Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, Edinburgh
and Scotland with passion and pride.
We will provide Hogmanay Ambassadors with all the information needed to carry out their roles - no
previous experience is necessary, but we do ask that all Hogmanay Ambassadors attend a training
session.
Hogmanay Ambassadors will make new friends, see the event from a different angle and have a new
year like no other!
The first step for anyone interested in being part of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay celebrations is to
complete an expression of interest form, available to download at edinburghshogmanay.com/get-
involved/volunteer. Once received our Volunteer Manager will contact you with further details.
