Less from 40 minutes train journey from Edinburgh, Fringe by the Sea in North Berwick returns for 10 days with a packed programme of family-friendly events.
Established in 2008, this multi-arts festival has community at its heart and aims to bring together like-minded people who share a passion for the arts. From world renowned authors to local choirs, this vibrant festival offers a diverse range of things to see and do.
Get your toes tapping with music from Groove Armada, Travis, Peat & Diesel, Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham, Elkie Brooks, Sister Sledge or The Gospel Choir, North Berwick and Sister Sister Choir. For younger ears, there’s Ceilidh Kids or Dick V Dom DJ Battle.
Be entertained by talks by cyclist Mark Beaumont, author Maggie O’Farrell or fashion designer Patrick Grant. Nature lovers will be in their element with both Megan McCubbin and Hamza Yassin discussing wildlife and the environment.
Have a giggle with Just The Tonic Comedy Club (performances presented by Dylan Moran or Dara O Briain) or energise your mind and body with WanderWomen: Mindfulness, Adventure & Ecotherapy, Zumba Gold or Surfskate Sessions.
If you’re looking to learn some new skills, take your pick from workshops in Block Printing, Encanto Dance or Macrame.

Whatever your interests, you won’t be stuck for choice.
