The Great Estate

The Great Estate describes itself as a gateway festival, paving the way for visitors to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It also describes itself as a cultural camping experience and it takes place in Vogrie Country Park which is Midlothian. Shuttle buses ensure you can get into see the Edinburgh Fringe events and the rest of the city.

Undoubtedly one of the weirder festivals on the circuit.  Although no line-up has been announced for the second year of the event, with acts such as Echo & The Bunnymen, Craig Charles, Kezia and many others you can be sure it will be an eclectic mix.
