One bar in Edinburgh certainly isn’t, and is hosting an outdoor screening of Halloween cult favourite film, Hocus Pocus.

Where and when is it on?

Edinburgh pub The Three Sisters is bringing a week of spooky goodness to Edinburgh residents this October, kicking off on Monday 28 October with the outdoor film screening.

The Facebook event page states that dressing up is encouraged, so you’d best get out your spookiest fancy dress for the evening.

Also on offer for the night are themed cocktails and a cinema concession stand with the likes of popcorn, sweet treats and hot drinks, too.

The screening will begin at 7pm.

Tickets

Cinema club screenings are free, so no tickets are required, however it is recommended that you arrive early to make sure you get a good seat.

How to get there?

The Three Sisters is located on Edinburgh’s famous Cowgate.

You can walk there from Princes Street via the Mound which will take you roughly 15 minutes.

Alternatively you can get a bus to South Bridge with Lothian Buses number 3, 5, 7, 8, 14, 29, 30, 31, 33, 35, 37, 45 or 49, and from there it’s a five minute walk.
