Love the Fringe’s corporate membership programme gives Scottish businesses a compelling reason to invest in the world’s greatest arts festival — and a tangible return on every pound spent.
Every August, Edinburgh becomes the cultural capital of the world. Edfest — the beating heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe — draws over two million attendees and some of the most extraordinary creative talent on the planet, injecting hundreds of millions into the Scottish economy.
Behind that achievement are the venues that make it possible: Assembly, C Arts, Gilded Balloon, Just the Tonic, Pleasance, Underbelly, and Zoo. Without these venues, the Fringe as audiences know it simply would not exist.
Yet the economics of staging the world’s largest arts festival are increasingly under pressure.
That is where Love the Fringe comes in — not as a charity appeal, but as a structured corporate membership programme with clear, tangible returns for your business.
What your organisation gets:
Staff wellbeing and reward
Membership cards give your team free entry to shows across all major Fringe venues throughout August — a genuinely memorable benefit that money can’t easily buy elsewhere.
Client hospitality
Take clients to world-class theatre, breakthrough comedy, or circus and dance. Far more memorable than a restaurant booking.
Brand alignment
Associate your organisation with Edinburgh’s most iconic cultural event, positioning your brand as one that values creativity, community, and Scottish culture.
Cultural investment
Your membership puts real money directly into an ecosystem that defines Edinburgh’s identity and drives Scotland’s economy 365 days a year.
Love the Fringe corporate memberships start from as little as £25 per person, with packages tailored around the number of cards your organisation needs and how you want to use them — whether for staff rewards, client hospitality, team incentives, or wider brand partnership.
Memberships are available in limited numbers and can be curated to suit your business.
The Fringe gives Scotland the world. Isn’t it time your business gave something back?
