New Edinburgh adult's only fairground Fayre Play opens bookings ahead of launch

Edinburgh's newest attraction– an adult-only fairground games experience – has announced the line-up of top games, cocktails and food people can enjoy when it opens next week.

Fayre Play is set to take over the former Fore Play Crazy Golf spot on Picardy Place on July 1, aiming to become the must-visit spot for people looking to have a little fun with friends or family.

The brand new games experience has seen the team behind the city’s hugely popular crazy golf course hard at work transforming their site into another first for the city – with bookings on their website open today.

It comes hot on the heels of the first site in Glasgow which has welcomed over 12,000 customers since it launched in March.

Speaking about the exciting launch, co-owner of Fayre Play, Craig Neilson, said: “We launched presale tickets last week and they’ve been absolutely flying; the team can’t wait to welcome our first visitors at the beginning of July.

"Just like our Glasgow venue, we’ve curated a fantastic selection of popular fairground games, designed for adults to compete against each other, with the added bonus of winning prizes – Our giant yellow ducks are iconic in the West Coast now and it won’t be long until our Edinburgh winners are the envy of everyone across the city.

"Since we launched Glasgow back in March, we’ve been inundated with requests for us to open a venue in Edinburgh, so we’re delighted to be putting the final touches together. Tickets are absolutely flying out the door ahead of the launch and we can’t wait to welcome everybody along to make memories”
