About the Organisation


The idea at the heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is simple: anyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome.

No individual or committee determines who can or cannot perform at the Fringe.


It all began in 1947 with eight companies - six of them from Scotland - taking a risk, turning up uninvited and performing on the 'fringe' of the inaugural Edinburgh International Festival.

Over 75 years later, the Fringe has grown to become one of the greatest platforms for creative freedom in the world, second only to the Olympics in terms of global ticketed events.

In 2023, 3,553 shows took place in 288 venues across Edinburgh.


The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society was founded by artists to nurture and uphold the Fringe's values of inclusivity, experimentation and imagination.

We exist to support, advise and encourage everyone who wants to participate in the Fringe, provide information and assistance to audiences, and celebrate the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world.

About the Role

We are recruiting three Media Assistants who will report to the Media Officer.

Leading up to and during the Fringe, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society provides a media centre for journalists and participants.


The Fringe is an open access festival, and the Fringe Society is an impartial organisation, therefore the Media Office assists participants with help and ideas to promote their show at the Fringe and journalists to find what they are looking for without ever recommending or making value judgements about specific shows.


The Media Office accredits journalists attending the Fringe and provides a media ticketing service for Fringe shows, as well as offering one-to-one advice to participants running their own PR and marketing campaigns.
