There is certainly plenty of entertainment planned for lucky holidaymakers taking a trip up to Edinburgh this August. As well as the Diamond Jubilee of the Royal Military Tattoo, which we mentioned in the last blog post, there is also the 61st Edinburgh Festival Fringe to contend with.

Edinburgh is proving to be the world’s festival city and with more than 20,000 performances scheduled at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year, who could possibly argue? There is a full schedule of arts and entertainment planned, so go to the website to see which artists you fancy seeing.

This huge arts festival is taking place over three weeks in Scotland’s capital between the 6th and the 30th of August. If you decide to come along you will surely witness something that meets your approval. With a wide variety of acts and stages there are artists to suit every taste.

A truly flexible way to experience the festival and be able to fit your holiday around the acts you want to see is to think about motorhome rental for your trip. There are a number of great camping sites in and around the city. You can even choose to stay in the beautiful Lothian countryside and get the best of both worlds.

There is plenty of fun to be had for the entire family and the best thing of all is that entry to the festival is free across the three days. There will be professional chefs present at the festival such as award winning food expert Nathan Outlaw and you can watch closely how they cook the tastiest dishes around.
