In-kind support
Edinburgh Fringe is a unique ecosystem. It's not simply about getting a show into a venue and selling tickets. The decisions you make months before arriving can determine your costs, your visibility, your audience and the opportunities that come afterwards.
EHP combines producing experience with an in-depth understanding of the Fringe environment to help artists make strategic decisions at every stage — from deciding whether Edinburgh is right for your project, to maximising the opportunities once you're there.
