Craig Neilson, co-owner of Fayre Play said: “With just one week to go until we bring our Fayre Play phenomenon to the capital, we’re buzzing to announce the games visitors can expect, along with our brand-new menu items. We launched presale tickets last week and they’ve been absolutely flying; the team can’t wait to welcome our first visitors at the beginning of July.
Just like our Glasgow-venue, we’ve curated a fantastic selection of popular fairground games, designed for adults to compete against each other, with the added bonus of winning prizes – Our giant yellow ducks are iconic in the West Coast now and it won’t be long until our Edinburgh winners are the envy of everyone across the city.
We’ve revamped our food menu, with loaded dogs joining our popular ‘ScranDaddy’ burgers, which we introduced earlier this month, along with the iconic cocktails that Fayre Play is known for. Since we launched Glasgow back in March, we’ve been inundated with requests for us to open a venue in Edinburgh, so we’re delighted to be putting the final touches together. Tickets are absolutely flying out the door ahead of the launch and we can’t wait to welcome everybody along to make memories.”
Fayre Play launches in Edinburgh on Saturday 1st July, with tickets on general sale now from thefayreplay.co.uk
