Tickets may only be listed at or below the original face value. Edinburgh Psych Fest is a community-driven independent festival — touting is strongly discouraged by organisers and the local psych scene. Weekend passes and Saturday day tickets are historically the fastest to sell out. Ensure your ticket is a genuine transferable e-ticket or PDF before listing.

FAQs

How do I get to Summerhall?

Summerhall is right on the edge of The Meadows in Newington — really walkable from the city centre (about 15–20 mins from Waverley station). Lothian Buses 7, 8, 14, 29 and 31 stop nearby on Clerk Street. There's basically no parking on site so public transport or a walk across The Meadows is the way to go.

What's Summerhall actually like as a venue?

It's a former Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies — think labyrinthine Victorian buildings, courtyard bars, and rooms with incredible acoustics. Multiple stages spread across different rooms and the main courtyard. Part of the magic is wandering between them. Dress for a slightly chilly Scottish September evening — layers are your friend.

Is there a dress code?

Absolutely not — it's a psych festival. Flares, kaftans, vintage band tees, full Spacemen 3 cosplay — all welcome. Just be comfortable enough to stand for 3+ hours and maybe brave the courtyard at midnight.

What are the best pubs nearby?

Summerhall itself has a brilliant bar (the Royal Dick) with real ales and cider — it's on site so you won't need to leave. Nearby, the Meadow Bar on Buccleuch Street is a local favourite for a pre-show pint. The Pear Tree on West Nicolson Street has a great beer garden if you're heading over early.

What time do doors open?

Typically around 5–6pm on Friday and Saturday, with Sunday doors from 2pm for an afternoon/evening format. Always check the official schedule closer to the event as Summerhall sets times stage by stage.

Are weekend passes transferable?

Weekend passes and day tickets issued as e-tickets or PDFs are generally transferable. If your ticket has your name printed on it, check the original booking terms — some will require a name change via the box office. Always confirm before listing or buying.
