An exclusive opportunity to experience the world renowned Edinburgh Military Tattoo is being offered as a premium package – from Scotland’s largest hostelling organisation.

SYHA Hostelling Scotland has successfully obtained elusive tickets to the event, which will be sold with accommodation and breakfast at the Five Star Edinburgh Central Hostel.

With prices starting at £119 per person for the midweek package, the SYHA Hostelling Scotland Edinburgh Military Tattoo packages will include one day’s mid-stand ticket at the Tattoo and two nights multi-share accommodation with breakfast.

Upgraded packages from £169 per person will include private twin room accommodation, free towel hire and a full cooked Scottish breakfast.

The Edinburgh Military Tattoo celebrates its Diamond Jubilee year this summer, presenting stunning performances and displays from August 6^th – 28^th.

Set against the backdrop of historic Edinburgh castle, the tattoo is one of the most exciting – and intrinsically Scottish – events on the country’s cultural calendar.

Situated on Leith Walk, and a stone’s throw from Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Central Hostel is ideally located for the tattoo, as well as a host of other attractions.  

The hostel, which opened in 2006, has been praised for bringing a high standard of hostelling to the Scottish capital, and catering for the wider needs of the modern traveller.

The package will be the first of its kind created by SYHA Hostelling Scotland to appeal to travellers seeking a unique, high quality cultural experience in the Scottish capital.

The move reflects the increasingly diverse hostelling market, as well as the high luxury standard now associated with one of the country’s most elegantly upgraded hostels.

Louise Nowell, Sales & Marketing Director for SYHA Hostelling Scotland, said: “We are thrilled to offer these rarely available tickets for one of Scotland’s most exhilarating events, with the added convenience and comfort of a premium stay in our Edinburgh hostel.

“Edinburgh Central Hostel has been one of our most major investments, and the result is an extremely high quality, flexible, modern hostel environment, which still offers the sense of community and affordability which is at the heart of our ethos.

“The hostel is in such a fantastic situation for enjoying the best of Edinburgh. Overall, the Edinburgh Tattoo package has been created to provide a real treat, and is ideal for corporate hospitality, an original surprise for a loved one, or simply a well earned, special break.”
