Drag queen Story Hour UK adds that it will: “engage your child’s creativity and love for reading stories by giving them a brand-new, positive experience, one page at a time...all the while, learning and communicating. Let’s get fabulous!”

Aida H Dee was set to perform at the Edinburgh Festival this year, with the children’s show Drag Queen Story Hour, after having performed at the Brighton festival.

The Edinburgh Festival 2020 was cancelled this year due to the coronavirus outbreak, though it has received funding from the Scottish Government and a grant from Edinburgh City Council in order to be able to return next year.
