Samhuinn set to light up Grassmarket on Halloween

samhuinn

The Beltane Fire Society is to bring the renowned Samhuinn Fire Festival to Edinburgh’s Grassmarket on Halloween. This year’s event marks the 20th anniversary of the society’s modern twist on this ancient celebration of the turning seasons, and festivities will start at a new time – 7pm.

The Festival will bring a host of volunteer performers with fire, drums and wild costumes to the city centre for an evening of revelry, representing the end of summer and rise of winter. The event will be on Hallowe’en (31 October) from 7 – 9pm at the Grassmarket. No tickets are required, attendance is by donation.

David Simpson, Festival Secretary for the Beltane Fire Society said: “We are really excited to bring Samhuinn Festival to the Grassmarket for its 20th anniversary. It will be a fantastic setting for our atmospheric hallowe’en night event. We have so much planned to entertain everyone who will be joining us – from drums and fire to impressive stage performances and drama. Our performers will act out the battle between the summer and winter kings, keeping ancient traditions alive.”

The event is organised by the Beltane Fire Society, a charity run by volunteers, dedicated to marking the fire festivals of the ancient celtic calendar and keeping traditional Scottish skills of street theatre, music and pageantry alive.

Samhuinn Fire Festival is a modern ‘re-imagining’ of an ancient celtic festival marking the end of summer and rise of winter. The modern event has been held in Edinburgh since 1995. Its spring and summer counterpart, Beltane, takes place on Calton Hill on the last day of April each year, and has been running since 1988.
