About Bedlam Festival

Bedlam Theatre 11 Bristo Place, Edinburgh Old Town EH1 1EZ
Bedlam Festival Website

We’ve got fun! We’ve got workshops! We’ve got shows on shows, and even some at lunch, (remember those? no, none of us do), you can pop in between classes, catch a short show and a hot drink, then trudge back to your three hour lecture through the grim day. In the January / February driech, Bedlam will be a little warm hearth (thermal warmth not guaranteed, exchangeable for friendship and hugs and maybe a hot chocolate).

So snuggle in for BedFest 2025 - the cosiest festival this side of the Royal Mile!
