In 1947 the Edinburgh International Festival attracted so much attention that its overspill formed the first Fringe - a spontaneous happening in which anyone could take part. If you are not in Edinburgh at Festival time you can still pick up a gift or memento from the goods on sale at the Hub.
Fringe dates 11 August - 31 August (many events in the week before 11 August) Shop: Monday to Friday 10.00am - 6.00pm Seven days a week 10.00am - 7.00pm during Festival
