Beltane at George IV

Beltane Communal Feast – April 30th

Join us on the eve of Beltane for a night of shared tables, shared food, and shared celebration at the historic George IV Pub, Edinburgh.

Beltane marks the turning of the year toward warmth, growth, and abundance—a time traditionally celebrated with fire, feasting, and community. In that spirit, this event is a fully communal feast, with long shared tables and dishes served to be passed, tasted, and enjoyed together.

The evening will feature a three-course feast built around seasonal abundance, including a generous selection of roasted and grilled meats, fresh fish, vegetables, and fruits, designed for sharing and connection rather than formality.

Your ticket includes:

● A three-course communal feast
