Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022: Here are 10 children's shows you can already book tickets for - including the Amazing Bubble Man and Basil Brush

After being cancelled in 2020 and massively scaled back in 2021 the world’s largest arts festival is gearing up to get back to normal this year – with over 2000 shows already announced, including plenty for younger culture vultures.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe was one of the many artistic casualties of the global pandemic, meaning the streets of the Capital have remained free of the usual August hubbub since the last full edition was held back in 2019.

The return of the event, scheduled to take place from August 5-29, will be welcomed by all those who missed the annual cultural feast, as well as business owners who rely on the huge number of visitors that flock to the city.

Parents are already scouring the programme for the must-see children’s shows – with family-friendly comedy and theatre often the first to sell out.

Here are 11 children’s shows that you can book tickets for now on the Fringe website.
