Samhuinn is a modern retelling of an ancient story – the battle between light and dark, summer and winter.

The Green Man is starting to decay as the seasons draw colder.  His darkness is arising, and it will manifest itself as the Horned God, King of the Winter.  The two kings, and their forces of magical creatures, will do battle with fire, ritual and drums for the hand of the all powerful Goddess.

Join us in our spectacular staging of this eternal story, where light battles dark, summer battles winter, and the future of the world is at stake.

The procession of the summer and winter courts sets off from the Castle Esplanade, Royal Mile, Edinburgh — at 9pm, Saturday 31st October.

This event is not ticketed, but we hope you will love it and give a donation to one of our bucketeers, to help us stage this magical event again.
