Edinburgh Whisky Fringe Festival Is Back For 2022

After a couple of years absence the Edinburgh Whisky Fringe Festival is returning to the capital city this August 2022.

Edinburgh Whisky Fringe Festival Is Back For 2022

I thought I would give this a quick mention as I am sure there are a few of you that have missed it over the past couple of years, the Edinburgh Whisky Fringe Festival is back for 2022.

The 20th edition of the Whisky Fringe festival will be held on Friday 12th, Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th August, 2pm – 6 pm each day. The venue will be the Edinburgh Whisky Fringe Festival's long-time home, Mansfield Traquair, with the Main Hall, Raeburn Room, and Garden Marquee areas open for tastings and experiences throughout the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday sessions.

Each session will play host to over 30 exhibitors from across the whisky industry, showcasing classic drams from iconic brands alongside new releases, special editions, and independently bottled treasures.

This year, following the cancellation of the 2020 Whisky Fringe and previous difficulties with Brown Paper Tickets' refund process, they are taking the ticketing in-house so that they have full control over the sales and service right from the word 'go'. Though this break from BPT means that they are unable to prioritise those who had 2020 tickets, it also means that they can remove all booking fees and ensure that ticket holders get the excellent level of customer service they would expect.

Below are key details plus terms and conditions for Edinburgh Whisky Fringe Festival 2022:
