What's On This Week

Mary King’s Ghost Fest

Various venues, Edinburgh, May 9-18, 08702 430 160

Anybody doubting of Edinburgh’s status as the UK’s festival city take note: even the undead get their own gala in Auld Reekie. Delving deep into the city’s sinister past for nine days (and nights), the Ghost Fest should keep believers and sceptics alike thrilled and chilled. Events include an underground exploration with Richard ‘Most Haunted’ Felix and overnight vigils in spooky Blair Street Vaults. Scared yet?
