Skeptics on the Fringe

Its that time of year when citizens of Edinburgh are working out what they want to see and where they can see it. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has around 9000 shows every day and Edinburgh Skeptics have been an integral part of the Festival for 9 years now. We've won two Ockham Awards for our efforts and for 2018 we think we have our best ever line up. 

All our talks are in Venue 156, The Chamber Room of the Banshee Labyrinth in Niddry street starting at 7:30 this year. We strongly recommend getting there early as entry is strictly on a first come basis. 

So, work out what you want to see and make your way through the throng to Niddry St and hear some of the best skeptical, scientific, educational and entertaining talks ever.
