WGGB continues its presence at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which runs from 4-28 August 2017 and is celebrating its 70th year.

The world’s largest arts festival, established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, showcases a wide range of performing arts, and includes cabaret, children’s shows, comedy, dance, physical theatre and circus, events, exhibitions, music, musicals and opera, spoken word and theatre.

In addition, events along the Royal Mile during the Festival represent the largest street fair of its kind in the world.

Entry to the Fringe does not involve a selection committee, and so it often showcases experimental works that wouldn’t make it into other festivals.

The Scottish branch of WGGB has a stand at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Participants Fair on 21 August 2017, 11am-5pm at Concourse Space, Fringe Central, Appleton Tower, corner of Windmill and Chapel Streets, Edinburgh EH8 9LE.

This will be the sixth year running we’ve had a stand at the fair.
