Forever Edinburgh marks Carers Rights Day and St Andrew’s Day with new Resident Days

Forever Edinburgh is inviting residents to enjoy the next instalments of Resident Days, with dedicated rewards and experiences to mark Carers Rights Day on Thursday 20 November and St Andrew’s Day on Sunday 30 November.

These dates form part of the ongoing Resident Rewards programme, which thanks local people for their contribution to Edinburgh’s visitor economy by giving them exclusive access to free or discounted attractions, tours and cultural experiences across the city.

The upcoming Carers Rights Day Resident Day will recognise and support the city’s unpaid carers, delivered in partnership with Shared Care Scotland and VOCAL Carers Hub. A range of free and discounted offers will give carers the chance to take a well deserved break, unwind and reconnect with their city.

Later in the month, the St Andrew’s Day Resident Day will celebrate Scotland’s national day, with local businesses offering special rates and unique experiences for Edinburgh residents.

Together, these events encourage communities to rediscover the world class culture, hospitality and heritage on their doorstep.

Cllr Jane Meagher, leader of the City of Edinburgh Council, said: ““Resident Days put our residents at the heart of the city’s visitor economy.

“Edinburgh is known across the world for its history and culture, but it is the people who live here who make it truly special. These rewards are a way of saying thank you and encouraging everyone to rediscover what makes our city so remarkable.”

Looking ahead, the programme will continue into the new year with a final date celebrating Burns Night on Sunday 25 January 2026.
