Organisers say festival suffered huge losses during pandemic and needs to rebuild for post-Covid world
The Edinburgh festival fringe has launched a £7.5m emergency appeal after it lost millions of pounds during the Covid pandemic.
The festival’s directors said the crisis had had a devastating impact on the event, which until last year was the world’s largest annual arts festival. It was entirely shut down in 2020 and this year has operated at a fifth of its normal size.
