Edinburgh Festival - Fringe 2022

This year celebrates 75 years of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Can you believe it has been running since 1947? Two years after the end of World War II, eight theatre groups arrived in Edinburgh, organised venues, and ran alongside the Edinburgh International Festival. Today there are over 3000 shows taking place during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
