How do we get there?

The Three Sisters is in a pretty central location and is only a short walk away from Waverley, the Castle and the Royal Mile.

How much is the entry fee?

The Festival is free to enter, and each stall will display their food prices and menus.

What can we expect in terms of food and drink?

The Festival is usually filled with all kinds of food stalls including some of Scotland's brightest up and coming street food and drink stars.

During the Edinburgh Festival, they will have five vendors on daily, running from 10am till late:

The BBQ Shack will be serving up burgers, bratwurst and philly cheese stakes, with plenty of sides.

There will be Log-Fired Pizza on offer too, with a huge range of toppings.

The Festival also caters for fans of Mexican food, with St Andrews' cantina Mamacita bringing their  Taquitos, Tacos and Quasedillas - and of course their delightful churros - for visitors to enjoy.

For those of you looking for something sweeter than the Arran Dairy will be on hand with ice cream and a pop-up sweetie shop for little kids (and big kids) as well as cocktails and their delightful sounding boozy ice cream for the adults.
