MEADOWS – THE BEST PLACE TO BE IN THE SUNSHINE
With sunshine, there comes the desire to be outside. And what place would be more suitable for a romantic picnic, a lovely stroll in nature, or hiding away from the city noise burying yourself in a book than the Meadows.
With its cherry trees blossoming in May, the park offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy some time in the sunshine. Whether it is a barbecue with your friends you’ve been longing for, or a long-planned football match, or, maybe you just want to get that early tan on, the Meadows is waiting for you.
But, in case the weather gets a bit chilly (which, let’s be honest is quite probable in Scotland) there are several cafes nearby to warm up or get your energy with the help of a hot coffee for the football match.
If you are not wanting to walk much, the café cart at the start of the Meadows offers a very delicious hot chocolate!
THE MEADOWS FESTIVAL IS CELEBRATING 50 YEARS!
While the Meadows is always a safe bet, let’s not forget about the treasure the park hides in early June. On the 7th and 8th of June, 2025, the Meadows Festival Edinburgh sees its 50th anniversary. This community-ran festival is proudly called to be the biggest outdoor market in Edinburgh and, children and adults alike can all find something they enjoy.
The numerous stalls host all the merchandise you could ever imagine. Individuals and small business-owners bring all one could ever need, from hand-made soaps to special jewelleries.
But what is a festival without music? The Meadows Festival famously hosts talented bands of different genres who bring the different flavours a festival needs.
But if none that flavour is to your taste, head to one of the many food stalls offering you a variety of tasty, delicious snacks and meals.
Don’t miss out on this weekend of fun, keep an eye out for all the updates! Soon, the official program will be disclosed as well so watch out for the Meadows Festival’s socials.
AND, OF COURSE, NEEDLESS TO SAY. BUT IF YOU ARE VISITING FROM THE OUTSIDE OF EDINBURGH AND NEED A COMFY BED, THE BRUNTSFIELD HOTEL OFFERS THAT AND MORE!
