Now in its 17th year, Made in Scotland presents a curated programme of some of the very best theatre, music and dance from artists across Scotland at the world’s greatest performing arts festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Each year, the programme welcomes international presenters to Edinburgh to experience showcase performances, connect with artists, and take part in conversations and social events that help build new collaborations and international opportunities for Scottish artists.

Had an amazing time at the North Edinburgh Community Festival this weekend – thanks to the festival for hosting us and to everyone who stopped by to say hello 👋

It was great to talk to so many people about our community ticketing initiative (CTI), which provides free tickets for people in and around Edinburgh who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. More than 40 people booked tickets on the day 🥳

CTI tickets are generously donated by Fringe artists, companies and venues – thanks so much to all who make this amazing project happen ❤️
