EDINBURGH FESTIVAL CAMPING
BACK IN 2020
We’re very sad to have to announce that Edinburgh Festival Camping will not be able to go ahead this year. The Fringe, The International Festival, The Military Tattoo and The Book Festival have all announced they are cancelling events for August 2020, and as our campsite is completely linked to and dependent upon the Festivals, we can no longer operate either. We are desperately sad for all of our staff and their families, for all the performers and artists who are full swing into their planning, and everyone whose livelihoods depend largely on the Edinburgh Festivals and specifically on Edinburgh Festival Camping. We are also really sad that we won’t get to spend our Summer with all of our wonderful customers who make our campsite whole. We have written to everyone who has already booked by email about what happens now.
We are looking forward to coming back for 2021 and can’t wait to see everyone then. For now. stay safe, keep your loved ones close and we will see you on the other side.
Love from Rhian, Geoff and Sarah
