EDINBURGH · WEEK OF 14 SEPTEMBER 2026
Edinburgh this week: a Royal Mile fair and acoustic sounds in Leith
A free fair on the Royal Mile and £5 acoustic sessions in Leith bring two lovely reasons to get out this week.
For the week beginning 14 September 2026, Edinburgh’s noticeboard offers two different ways to enjoy a little local atmosphere. Take in street performances and craft stalls on Tuesday, or make time for acoustic music in Leith on Saturday.
Royal Mile Summer Fair Tuesday 15 September 2026 · All day · The Royal Mile, Edinburgh · Free
The Royal Mile Summer Fair brings street performers, craft stalls and a family stage running all day up the hill. There’s room in the day for browsing the stalls and enjoying the performances, whether the crafts or the family stage catch your interest first. With free entry and an all-day programme, it’s a welcoming option for a Tuesday outing.
Leith Harbour Sessions Saturday 19 September 2026 · 7pm · The Shore, Leith · £5
For a musical finish to the week, Leith Harbour Sessions offers acoustic sessions in the back bar. The sign-up sheet is available from seven, so keep that timing in mind if you’re hoping to put your name down. Admission is £5, with the evening starting at 7pm.
From an all-day fair to a back-bar session, this week’s pair gives you a choice of daytime bustle or evening tunes. Pop the dates in your diary and enjoy a bit of Edinburgh at your own pace.
