I've never been to The Fringe and it's on my Bucket List. So this year I will go. There no problem with accommodation as I have relatives in Motherwell and can get the train in daily.

But I don't actually know how it works as it were. I'm aware there's various acts, plays, comedians, etc from well-known to complete amateurs. And logic tells me there must be venues all over the city.

So I figured there is bound to be those on this forum who can offer some practical advice and suggestions, so this poster can get the best from the experience. I'm thinking just a couples of days for a start.

I bet we could organise a GN meet up in Edinburgh to coincide with your visit Anya or would that interrupt your cultural meanderings too much? Elegran? How about it ?

I can happily meander into a watering hole Jane to rest my weary feet.

Why not, Jane, perhaps at everyone's favourite place on Princes Street? Though somewhere like the Dome may be where the action is.

Its the 'action' I want to avoid! The usual venue would be good. Straightforward to find for anyone unfamiliar with Edinburgh. Its a performance venue though?

I think the performances are up on the top floor at the back, aren't they? The restaurant and the smaller rooms will surely still be available?

Maybe Anya wants to be in the middle of the action? Or will she be ready for a bit of peace with her shoes off?

Shoes off under the table, I hasten to add. We do want to keep up appearances, don't we.

Naturally Elegran! Actually a GN meet up is a cultural event in itself!

Definitely ready for boots off! Peace and quiet with a good strong flat white.

I'll be the one with my feet up on the table just to lower the tone.
