Our events will be performed in BSL, or will be BSL interpreted and captioned. This is a festival for everyone.
Edinburgh Deaf Festival is an accessible celebration of deaf culture, language and heritage. Our aim is to bring the arts to deaf audiences, giving deaf people access to festivals in a way that they haven’t had before. Our festival also gives mainstream audiences the opportunity to learn more about our rich deaf culture whilst enjoying a variety of performances.
We will also be working with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to help increase the number of accessible performances, by providing BSL/English interpreters and captioners.
