The Fringe is back in the capital! After missing out on a full festival as a result of the pandemic, Edinburgh is gearing up to welcome the world again.
Dating back to 1947, the Fringe has entertained us for decades while celebrating the best that art and culture have to offer.
For three chock-full weeks, Edinburgh will play host to tourists, locals, performers and producers from across the globe to present new shows, delight audiences and discover shining new talent.
As the whole city hosts the festivities, here’s how you can see all the venues hosting events.
Edinburgh Fringe Venues
The list of venues hosting events for the Fringe is extensive, with 273 listed on the website.
A full list of the venues can be found on the Edinburgh Fringe website here.
Here's a taste of some of the amazing shows on their way to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
