It’s a matter of days before the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe returns for the first time in two years with over 3000 shows across the city, hundreds of venues and bars to visit over four weeks. It’s natural to feel a bit lost so here is our locals guide to the fringe to make sure you have the best experience possible.
Many locals have a love hate relationship with the Fringe, the city’s population triples, nearly every free space in the city becomes a pop up venue or bar and it becomes nearly impossible to walk around the city centre without being handed a million leaflets.
But of all the negatives that we tut at and have a moan about, summer in Edinburgh is spectacular and the atmosphere and experience of the Fringe is like nothing else.
