Scary Solstice
Many people head to The Real Mary King’s Close to enjoy all the fun of our unique Halloween events, but we also put on a chillingly good do at Christmas. Forget the turkey and paper hats, we can help you organise a Christmas party experience with a difference. Whether you want a private tour or a chance to chat with other high spirited groups, we can ensure your festive party plans run smoothly. To book your private tour, get in touch with our Sales Executive Lucy on 0131 225 0675 or by email.
Underground Party
If you choose to book a private tour , your party will be treated to some tasty festive delicacies before we guide you on a historic trip through time to Christmas past. The party food is available on request and can include festive treats such as mince pies, canapes, and some liquid courage, to ease you into your pending adventure. You will find out how the residents of the Real Mary King’s Close lived and died in extreme poverty, as your very own costumed character guides you through your journey.
The tour takes in some of the darker sides of the history of Edinburgh’s old town, as seen through the eyes of some of its strange and colourful past inhabitants. Feel history come alive with the sights, smells and sounds of a bygone era, as you hear stories of Edinburgh's past residents.
Festive tours always fill up fast, so do book soon and join us to celebrate Christmas on the Close.
