Information
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the world’s largest arts festival. For three weeks in August it entertains more than a million people with its heady mix of cabaret, children’s shows, comedy, events, exhibitions, theatre and much more.
The Fringe, as it’s more often known, has been running since 1947, when touring theatre groups ‘gate-crashed’ the main Edinburgh Festival. Today you’ll find an iconic festival that has become internationally popular and an important part of the city’s culture and heritage. There are an incredible variety of shows for you to enjoy all set against the backdrop of the picturesque and historic Scottish capital.
The 2012 Fringe is on between 3rd – 27th August and is set to be bigger than ever - and that’s saying something as 2011 had over 2,453 shows. Why not make a date to see the very first mainstream, cult or offbeat shows, with national and international backgrounds? You’re bound to find something to suit your taste however wild or wacky.
The Holiday Inn Edinburgh City West hotel is the perfect base for you to explore the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We’re only 2 miles from the city centre and you’ll find excellent bus and road links. If you’re planning on a flying visit, we’re only 7 miles from Edinburgh Airport so you can be here from the terminal in minutes.
And once you’re here, you can relax in comfort for the duration of your stay. You’ll find well-appointed standard, executive and family rooms as well as rooms for people with special access needs. They all feature a full range of superior facilities.
To relax after a hard day at the Fringe you’ll find several tasty options for food and drink at the Holiday Inn Edinburgh City West hotel - from Traders Restaurant with contemporary international dishes. There’s also our hotel bar, perfect for a quick drink or catching up on major sports fixtures.
