- Check out the inspiration for this event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 3-25 August. (Two-for-one preview tickets will be available for some shows in the week preceding the opening on Fringe Sunday.)
- Can't decide what to see? Try narrowing your choices at [the Pleasance], which is the University student union (10 minute walk from Old College venue) with a wide range of comedy, music and theatre events and a busy beer garden in the courtyard.
- Another great University-based Fringe venue is the [Fabulous Spiegeltent], in the George Square gardens near the Main Library. Book a ticket or just relax and enjoy the beer and ambience outside the tent.
- Check out the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues festival which will be going on at the time of the workshop (25 July - 3 August).
- Thanks to the JISC Repositories and Preservation Programme for generous sponsorship of this event.
