After a brief hiatus, Teviot is returning to the heart of the festival in Bristo Square. One of Edinburgh Fringe’s longest-running and most iconic venues, Teviot will once again serve as our flagship performance hub. Its neo-gothic architecture and castle-like features have established it as one of the most recognisable venues at the Fringe.
