Edinburgh festival kid-friendly shows for children and families this year

Festival Edinburgh Fringe Basil Brush Julia Donaldson Disney

With under a month 'til the start of this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, we're sure many of you will have already made plans for which shows to go to this year.

For the first time since 2019, the Festival will be back in full flow, following its Covid-related cancellation in 2020 and the pandemic significantly curtailing the 2021 event.

The Fringe kicks off on Friday August 5, with the final day on Monday August 29, meaning there's over three weeks of performances and events for the people of Edinburgh and its visitors, while this year marks a significant 75th anniversary of the Fringe.
