This August, the Edinburgh University Students’ Association will host a variety of dynamic Fringe Festival spaces, including great spots to grab something to eat or drink in between catching shows.
These spaces support Edinburgh students, as well as local businesses, charities and sustainable commerce. As a registered charity, income earned from the associations’ Fringe venues and food and drink outlets go towards its student services, providing advice, representation and welfare support to 49,000 student members.
The Students’ Association employs local staff to run its venues. In 2022, around 300 temporary staff were hired, 70 per cent of which were Edinburgh University students.
Speaking about the food and drink venues on offer during next month’s Fringe, Sharan Atwal, students’ association president, said: “Our association’s integral part in the festival means we can generate funds to support our students. We hope everyone who visits enjoys the city and has a great time visiting our venues!”
