The Edinburgh International Children’s Festival is returning in May 2023, with an exciting line up of activities, events and performances for young people, schools, families, and industry professionals to immerse themselves within.
As Official Transport Partner of the festival, Lothian Buses is the perfect transport solution to travel to and from all the shows and performances taking place across the city.
This year, the programme remains international and includes a regional focus on Flanders, the Dutch-speaking Northern part of Belgium, one of the world’s leaders in producing innovative theatre and dance for young audiences.
This year the programme delivers performances with big ideas, epic stories and flamboyant physicality which will help young audiences make sense of our sometimes-conflicted world.
