What better way to share in the festive spirt than taking your young ones to one of these 5 tradition Classic shows this November and December in Edinburgh.
If you want your child to understand why we celebrate Christmas, we’d also highly recommend the one-off crib services and carol services which take place in stunning old churches and cathedrals across Edinburgh. Why not check out the events pages of Old St Paul’s, Ps & Gs (by John Lewis) and St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, for example. All are welcome to enjoy December’s merriness and music, whether religious or not.
