“The absolute jewel in the crown has been the free festival at various venues throughout the city. The addition of this new strand to the festival must make it [The Edinburgh Fringe] the most inclusive festival in the world"  - The BBC

"The Laughing Horse's Free Fringe shows serve as a useful reminder of that frequently encountered concept - The Spirit of the Fringe" - Malcolm Hay, Time Out

Welcome to the Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival

The 2007 Free Festival has now, sadly, come to an end - after over 2,500 performances of comedy, theatre and music during August all accross Edinburgh. But don't worry, we're already preparing for 2008 - when shows will run from July 31st to August 25th 2008. Come and join again next August for plenty of award winning comedy, groundbreaking Theatre, and the best music and dance - and the best bit... you don't have to pay a penny!

The Laughing Horse Free Festival Venues were established in 2004, with the aim of making the Fringe more accessible and less expensive for performers - and also to provide top quality shows for Fringe-goers at a bargain price. All of this in professionally run and equipped venues, and bucking the trend of the larger venues who's prices increase year after year. To find out why we are doing this and who is involved in organising the Free Festival click here.


If you own a venue in Edinburgh venue and would like the Free Festival to bring shows to your venue in 2008, or if you run an exisiting Fringe venue and would like to include Free Festival shows please contact us at info@freefestival.co.uk
