Welcome to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
Today’s the day! Friday 05 August marks the official start of the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe with more than 50,000 norm-defying performances of over 3,200 shows set to excite, inspire and surprise audiences across the city.
Whether you’re already in Edinburgh, or planning a trip in the very near future, we hope you have an amazing Fringe 2016 and we have a final checklist to help you on your way.
Build your perfect Fringe
Get your hands on the BRAND NEW official Fringe App which is available to download in the App Store and on Google Play.
You’ll be able to keep your schedule organised thanks to the new personal planning calendar which syncs saved and favourite shows with your online account. When you’re feeling impulsive, just tap the ‘Nearby now’ button and find a show that’s about to start. It’s a great way to discover something unexpected.
Make the most of our 2for1 days
Monday 08 and Tuesday 09 August are the Fringe 2for1 days where hundreds of shows offer tickets on a 2for1 basis. Head to edfringe.com and explore all the shows giving you double the fun for your money.
2for1 throughout the Fringe (and much more!)
If you fancy a 2for1 ticket offer throughout the Fringe, plus your own exclusive Box Office and 10% off merchandise in the edfringe shop, consider becoming a Friend of the Fringe. Membership starts from £30 a year and can be purchased online or from the Friends Box Office which can be found on Old Assembly Close just off the Royal Mile.
A Friends of the Fringe membership is the perfect way to make the most of your Fringe, and you’ll also benefit from the fuzzy feeling of knowing that every penny you give helps us support the amazing performers who come to Edinburgh every year!
