Hopetoun House Christmas Fair Taxis & Transfers
Every November, Hopetoun House in South Queensferry transforms into a magnificent festive marketplace. The Christmas Shopping Fair (28 – 30 November 2025) welcomes visitors from across Scotland for a weekend of luxury gifts, artisan crafts, and seasonal treats. Kay’s Cabs provides door-to-door private-hire transfers between Edinburgh, the airport, and Hopetoun House — ensuring you arrive in comfort and style without worrying about parking or country-lane traffic.
Travel in Comfort to South Queensferry’s Grand Festive Venue
Our drivers know the estate routes and event-day traffic patterns around South Queensferry. Instead of walking from overflow car parks in the cold, you’ll be dropped right at the visitor entrance — ideal for families, groups, or those carrying heavy bags of shopping. We can also arrange meet-and-greet pickups from Edinburgh Airport, with drivers monitoring your flight so no time is wasted waiting.
Our fleet includes modern saloons and spacious 8-seaters with large boots for bags and boxes. If you’re an exhibitor bringing goods to sell, we can allocate extra vehicle capacity or coordinate two cars for load-in and load-out. All vehicles are licensed, insured, and kept spotless.
Make a Day of It — Fair, Lunch & Scenic Views
Many visitors combine the Hopetoun House fair with a meal in South Queensferry or a photo stop by the Forth Bridges. Kay’s Cabs offers multi-stop bookings, so you can shop first, dine after, and head back to Edinburgh at your own pace. Our drivers are locals who know the best routes to beat traffic on the A90 and Queensferry Road corridor.
Whether you’re staying at a city hotel, in Dalmeny, or near Cramond, we’ll plan your pickup and return times around your schedule. No waiting in the cold — your driver will be ready when you are. Need an early-morning transfer? We operate from the first ferry of light until late evening.
Book ahead to secure your preferred slot; the Hopetoun Fair weekend is one of our busiest of the year. Simply call 0131 629 2129 or reserve online at kayscabs.co.uk. You’ll get instant confirmation and a friendly driver who knows exactly where to drop you.
