Jobs in Castle & The Mound

Edinburgh Castle dominates the skyline, and every August the Esplanade hosts the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo — a massive production that fills 8,600 seats nightly. The Mound, descending from the castle toward Princes Street, is home to the Fringe's Half Price Hut and the Hub (the Edinburgh International Festival's headquarters).

Working in this area

Working at the Tattoo is a unique experience — it's a large-scale outdoor event operation with military precision. Roles include stewarding, hospitality, retail, and accessibility support. At the Hub, the Edinburgh International Festival hires for events, marketing, and front of house. The Half Price Hut area is prime flyering territory.
