Now that the festive season is over, our thoughts turn to the next holiday in the calendar. Easter falls on Friday 15th to Monday 18th April this year. So, lets take a look at what’s on this Easter weekend in Edinburgh to keep us all entertained.
Festivals
The Edinburgh Science Festival is on throughout the Easter holidays, but its not just for kids and families. There are many science-themed events for grown-ups too, including discussions, debates, workshops, screenings and nights out. The full programme will be released soon.
If you’re into comics and cosplay, don’t miss Edinburgh Comic Con at the EICC, a convention dedicated to comic book culture. Dress up like your favourite hero or villain, meet with fellow fans and enjoy exhibits and events from the world of comic books, science fiction and fantasy.
