Our current season of LIFF Presents at Vue in The Light continues on 13 September with The Eight Mountains, a profoundly moving portrait of a lifelong friendship set against a truly magnificent Italian landscape. On 20 September, we present a preview of R.M.N., the powerful new drama from Romanian master Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days).

As LIFF 2023 approaches, we present again on 27 September the winner of the LIFF 2022 Audience Award, Maryam Touzani's captivating The Blue Caftan. Closing the current LIFF Presents season on 4 October is an exclusive screening of Feminist Riposte, a striking and rousing documentary that follows women and people of marginalised genders in France as they protest harassment, rape, femicide and the authorities’ response to these issues.

What’s happening in Edinburgh in September 2023

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we bid a fond farewell to summer, we welcome September and the start of autumn. And Edinburgh is the place to be, with an impressive choice of things to see, do and experience across the city.

From captivating exhibitions and must-see events to fun-filled family activities, start planning your month in Edinburgh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's On: Edinburgh Events
in September 2023

 

 

It’s the last few weeks to see both the retrospective exhibition, When the Apple Ripens: Peter Howson at 65 at the City Art Centre and Windrush: Portraits of a Pioneering Generation, a special exhibition taking place at the Palace of Holyroodhouse which honours the accomplishments of the Windrush Generation.

The Royal Society of Edinburgh presents their annual flagship event series, Curious. This free to attend programme of talks, workshops, tours and exhibitions is the perfect opportunity to engage with leading thinkers and ignite your curiosity. September also sees the return of Doors Open Days. Whether you want to peek inside an 18th century farm steading, visit the oldest custom house in Scotland or take a tour of a working courtroom, this is a great way to see inside many of the city’s fascinating buildings, many of which are not normally open to the public.

Edinburgh is the host city for the UK premiere of Fleurs de Villes VOYAGE. Staged at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh for ten days, this glorious travel-themed floral exhibition celebrates fifteen of the world’s most iconic destinations.

With walks of three different lengths to choose from, don your kilt and walking boots and raise funds for Scottish charities with Edinburgh Kiltwalk.Or burn off the calories as you bounce, crawl, climb and slide on the world’s largest Inflatable 5K in the grounds of Hopetoun Estate.

Abbotsbury, this charming village, sits cozily on Dorset's breathtaking Jurassic Coast. It's like stepping into a storybook, with history and natural beauty blending seamlessly.
There's so much to soak in – the past, the arts, and the stunning views.

The real gem? Abbotsbury Swannery, where mute swans make their nests, creating a one-of-a-kind wildlife haven.
And don't miss the dreamy subtropical gardens, a throwback to the 1700s,
offering a calming stroll among exotic plants.
Thatched cottages, peaceful countryside, and the nearby sea breeze make Abbotsbury an enchanting escape for anyone longing for that quintessential English village magic.
