WELCOME to theSpaceUK! The home of award-winning performance and new writing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

We were very proud to host nearly 200,000 audience members across our 19 theatres at the 2024 festival. And it was fabulous to host a record number of reviews for our shows, the most on the fringe, some 1,400 in total. Well done to all our amazing companies for the passion and hard work they put in to bring work to the festival.

Artiste recognition was as ever in abundance including Fringe First Awards, Broadway Baby Best Show, Fringe Binge Best Show as well as the Scottish Theatre Award for new writing (Bright Spark) for 2 of our shows!! Additionally it was fabulous to see so many shows included in awards shortlists or receiving 5 and 4 star reviews with a good % now looking forward to taking their work forward either on tour or to various venues across the globe.

We now turn to planning for EdFringe 2025, we are already programming work with many returning and debut shows booking already. We invite your application! Our ethos is buried in the roots of the festival as a platform for all so don't be shy, send us an application, we'll be in touch by return and look forward to welcoming you as part of the most exciting and best located venues in town!

With 11 spaces at our Surgeons Quarter hub and a further 8 on the Royal Mile our venues are located at the heart of the modern festival in Old Town where thousands of audiences gather daily.
