There are three main ways you can get yourself a Fringe programme:

Pick up a copy in person

The Fringe programme will be available to pick up in person at the Fringe shop from launch day; they will also be available to pick up from various distribution points across the country the same day. We'll update this page with a map of distribution points once these are confirmed, and keep updating this map as more points are added through summer.

If you would like to become a programme distribution point, or need to restock an existing distribution point, please fill in the bulk programme request form.

Order online

You can have the programme delivered to your door – we'll update this page with specific order information in spring 2025.

Become a Fringe Friend

Members of our Fringe Friends scheme get free or discounted delivery of the Fringe programme to their door, as well as lots of other great benefits.

(Oh, and you’ll also get to feel fantastic about helping support the Fringe, and all the Fringe Society’s charitable work.)

Once they've gone live, you can view every show listing at the Fringe on our website; we also have a digital pdf version of the printed programme you can flick through.

Please note: this is the programme for Fringe 2024 – we'll update this page with the Fringe 2025 programme in summer.

Yes. However, for delivery, there is a cost of £6.50 to cover postage and processing.

The programme costs a lot to produce, so we also ask those interested in receiving it if they would also like to make a donation to the Fringe Society. By opting to donate, you will help us to:

  • support the brilliant artists who create the Fringe each year
  • improve accessibility at the festival
  • help the communities and young people of Edinburgh engage with the Fringe and live arts.
