In the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, Fringe-goers will be able to enjoy an immersive Scottish experience, with music, comedy, food, and drink all on offer at this one-stop hub.

From 1 - 25 August , the award-winning beer brand will host an impressive lineup of local food and drink vendors to help showcase Scotland’s world-famous products – with live performances throughout.

Scottish Street Food Champions Wanderers Kneaded will have revellers on the hunt for a pizza fix covered, while Fred’s Backyard BBQ will be there for all your Texas-style BBQ needs. The amazing local food can be washed down with a pint of Innis & Gunn, or if you’re in the spirit, a G&T from local favourites Edinburgh Gin.

CEO of Innis & Gunn, Dougal Gunn, said: “When the eyes of the world are on Edinburgh, we should take it as an opportunity to showcase the best of Scotland. With this partnership, we can not only support the largest arts festival in the world, but we highlight the vibrant local food, drink and culture which quite rightly attracts visitors from all over the world.’

“I’m sure this will be a very popular destination as people come to experience the best of Scotland. We’re going to have lots of fun – with a few surprises along the way.”

Attendees can hop over to the Mound throughout August and enjoy great food and drink, as well as Fringe performances until 6pm followed by live entertainment until 11pm.
