Edinburgh for New Years Eve

[hibeedonald]

Is the street party worth going too? We're all 18/19, from Stirling, and someone suggested going to Edinburgh for new years. Also are the clubs good/open late?

[CallumLaidlaw]

Personally wouldn't bother with the street party. Went a few years ago and it was mayhem. I wouldn't mind it if I got tickets to the concert in the gardens.

Think clubs are usually open till 5? could be wrong though but that sounds familiar.

Better off staying in Stirling Donald:agree:

[Gatecrasher]

I was at it a couple of years ago and hated it

:agree:

Pubs until 3, clubs until 5 over the festive period.

It might be a case of one or the other. Clubs might be all ticket with no entry after sometime before 12.00. Last time I did anything like that, admittedly many years ago, clubs were filled to bursting point - Ok if you enjoy that sort of thing. More recently Princess Street is full of folk waiting for something to happen and it doesn't so everyone goes away about half an hour after the fireworks.

If you're travelling all the way from Stirling I'd strongly suggest trying to get tickets for Princes Street gardens or getting advance tickets for a club.

The street party is great if you like standing in the cold, getting soaked and.drinking flat beer out a plastic bottle whilst not a lot happens. If that's not.your idea of fun I'd avoid it.

:agree:

Make sure you've got a way of getting home organised too. Public transport is nil on New Years Day, and the taxis (if you can get one) are even more of a rip off.

Im going down to London to escape all that nonsense!

[CallumLaidlaw]

We're going to the Granary at the shore in leith

[derekHFC]

Clubs will charge £25 to get in then £4 a drink after that.

Best going to a pub in the grassmarket and enjoying your night there.

Cheers, really don't like the sound of being outside in sub zero temperatures, so hopefully don't have to go the street party. Got mates at Edinburgh uni so we have a place to stay at least.

This year will be my 2nd time. Spent literally 5 minutes a couple of years back with my mates in the street party.

This time going with my girlfriend who is Italian who wants to go and do the street party stuff:boo hoo:.

I'm spending the weekend at my parents house in the back o beyond of Ratho, so a taxi seems the only option home. Can you pre book one before Hogmanay or is standing in a queue for a few hours on the cards?

There's free buses that run from 12.30 -4.00am from Haymarket. They go all over the shop, I have a sneaking feeling the one that goes to queensferry might go through Ratho. It goes to Kirkliston then perhaps Ratho!

When I went a few years back the coppers didnt stop us drinking our own.

It's a right of passage boys 18-19 - I imagine that's exactly who it's designed for.
Foreign mantovani to check out also (well aussies and kiwis and the odd brasilian from the times I've been.
I'd ask the ages of the others with more negative vibes - of course there's downsides but few places you can go and get a bit of an atmosphere in a big crowd (standing)

Some of never stop having our rites of passage when there's foreign fillies to check out. Others do, like me, obviously.
