Taking place within the St James Quarter, the Edinburgh Seafood Festival brings the best of Scotland’s seafood to the capital this May Bank Holiday weekend.
Running from 03 to 05 May 2025, the festival offers a packed programme of sea-inspired activities. The Seafood Stage will host cooking demonstrations and masterclasses, while the pop-up Produce Market is the place to browse and buy tasty offerings.

For an extra special culinary experience, the Seafood Supper Club will offer guests the chance to enjoy an exclusive dinner created by leading chefs. For children, there’s interactive activities including under-the-sea-themed face painting, plus the chance to meet a mermaid!
All of this as well as seafood specials and menus in some of the Quarter’s most exciting dining and drinking destinations.
