With the biggest summer event of 2012 already over, and the Paralympics not starting for another few weeks, it’s time to remember another institution of the British summer calendar.
The world’s largest Arts festival the ‘Edinburgh Festival Fringe’ kicked off over a week ago, and showcases the best of theatre, comedy, dance, musicals and entertainment events. Despite Olympic fever gripping the city (along with the rest of the world), according to a recent news article there are more people visiting the Festival than ever.
Are you planning to see anything at the Fringe this year? Tweet us to let us know!

There are lots of community groups across the country making a difference through theatre and the Arts, and you can read about some of them here. Perhaps there’s a drama group looking for a volunteer just down the road from you! Why don’t you try our unique postcode search to find out?
