Festival in the Sky, a 22-seat table suspended 100ft (30.5m) above the ground, will offer visitors the chance to try a new dining experience at this year's Edinburgh Festival.

The concept, which is being organised by marketing agency DADA Ventures, will be sited in the specially-created Sky Gardens at West Princes Street Gardens and will run between 1 and 31 August. A fully-heated dining table with weather-proof canopy is designed to offer unique views of the city and surrounding area, with each of the 22 seats able to turn on a 180-degree axis.

DADA managing director Oli Norman said: "There's no doubt that 'Festival in the Sky' will be one of the biggest and most talked about attractions at the Edinburgh Festival this year. "It will be unmissable: in its height, its location and as a truly once in a lifetime opportunity to dine with a difference."

Steve Cardownie, the City of Edinburgh Council's festivals and events champion, added: "Dining in the sky will be memorable enough, but, with the stunning backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, our World Heritage Site and the views across the River Forth, this will surely be an unforgettable experience."
