Lauriston Castle, 2 Cramond Rd S, Edinburgh EH4 6AD

We're delighted to be back at Lauriston Castle after our sell-out run of Atmosphere events from 'Carry on Screaming' to 'Gosford Park'. The writer of the latter, Julian Fellows returns with his award-winning creation, the continuing historical drama of the aristocratic Crawley family and staff.

It’s 1928, and with family away in France, a film production company uses their home as the location for a silent film ‘The Gambler’, right at the dawn of the talkies. Come dressed for your close up, Hollywood or Riviera, as there's champagne to win. Ticket includes a complimentary glass.

Director Robert Altman brought together a fine ensemble cast for this 2001 production. Written by Julian Fellows, it's a study of the British class system in the 1930s, all wrapped up in a murder mystery worthy of Agatha Christie herself.

Look out for the Spirits of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come as you explore the dramatic interiors of the castle, resplendently decorated for the holidays. What did Tiny Tim say, Ebenezer?
