Euro 2024: New Pitt Market pop up venue in Edinburgh may be the largest indoor fan zone in Scotland

The West Granton venue hosted the first of three Euro 2024 matches on Friday, June 14 when Scotland took on hosts Germany in Munich. Around 500 people attended the inaugural event at the Pitt Market’s new location which is set to officially open by late summer. 

Scotland will be hoping for a better result against Switzerland this evening which is set to kick off at 8pm. And for those wanting to make a night of it, the new Granton-based Pitt Market will reopen tonight from 5pm to screen the match on a massive projector inside their pop-up venue.

Pitt Market co-founder, Hal Prescott, said: “The first night was amazing - we had about 500 people turn up which is brilliant. The atmosphere was great and it was amazing seeing people in the space. We might have the largest indoor screen viewing of the Euros in the country.”
