Take part

This guide contains all of the steps to putting on a show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe - what to do and expect before, during and after.

In this guide we cover all the aspects of running a venue at the Fringe. We take you through the steps of managing a venue from registering your space, right through to legal requirements and keeping economically green while here.

Everything you need to know about the Virgin Money street events, including stages, performance areas, that run during the festival.

This guide contains everything your need to know about the markets, which are an integral part of the Fringe Street Events and run on West Parliament Square and the Mound Precinct throughout the Fringe.

This guide is the arts professional’s one-stop shop for discovering and booking new work and talent, and for making connections at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe caters for everyone, from the biggest names in showbiz to emerging performers, and it covers all sorts of art forms. This guide will help you find your way around it all.

Our online search facility is a searchable directory of all Fringe venues, including their contact information. We recommend that you contact a number of potential venues to get a good idea of the types of deals that are out there and what different venues can offer you.

Our services directory provides you with a list of useful local businesses which you might need during your time at the Fringe.

Whether you are a seasoned Fringe participant or you’re just beginning to dip your toes into our festival – or even if you want to test new material that isn’t a neat fit into your existing show – this is the place for you. Each opportunity is managed by the independent company/venue listed, and so specific enquiries concerning any of these listings should go directly to that company/venue, on the contact details they have provided.

Every year the Fringe Society runs a series of online and in person information sessions to help you find out about how to take part in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and to make the most of all the opportunities on offer.

Finding somewhere to stay in Edinburgh is one of the biggest considerations when taking part in the Fringe, as well as one of the largest costs. Our Accommodation Register aims to assist with your search for accommodation.
