Grassmarket Vintage Weekend
Love everything vintage? Visit the Grassmarket this weekend for vintage cars (the main reason Mr Enthusiast would come along), vintage fashion and a market of pre-loved items. Read more about the event on the Greater Grassmarket website.
30TH APRIL, SATURDAY
Pitt Market

The ever popular Pitt Market is back again with our favourite street food stalls including Harajuku Kitchen, Umami Spice Girl, Bearded Barista, Pilot Beer, Smith & Gertrude. As usual it's on between 12.00-22.00 - let's hope for some sunshine (and no April snow).
Akva Beer Garden Party
On the other side of town, in Fountainbridge Akva will be launching their summer beer garden from 2pm. Although the recent weather makes me doubt whether summer arrives any soon, Akva is preparing with BBQ, Swedish cider and they even invited a Grahams ice cream van.
Beltane Fire Festival
A pagan fire festival on Calton Hill celebrating the start of the pastoral summer - a must for any Edinburgh first-timer or if you are a local and have never been. We do feel for the Beltane Fire Festival performers who will be dancing (semi)naked this Saturday. If you're not one of the dancers, make sure you dress warm! Buy your Beltane tickets in advance here.
1ST MAY, SUNDAY
Garden of Cosmic Speculation

Hope you have been doing the 'no rain dance' as this Sunday is the only day of the year when the Garden of Cosmic Speculation is open to the public! If you love Jupiter Artland you should not miss this event (or mark it red in next year's calendar). The garden is near Dumfries, but totally worth the trip - you can pop in to Drumlanrig Castle or Caerlaverock Castle nearby. Find more info about the garden, opening time and admissions on the Scotland's Gardens website.
Old Town Street Food Festival
If you decide to stay in town, Three Sisters will be hosting their popular street food festival in the old town. As usual there will be live music and a bunch of lovely local vendors.
Have a good weekend!
