The peak of the festival season from June to August represents the busiest period on The Arts Dispatch as we offer extensive coverage of Glastonbury Festival’s Theatre and Circus and Edinburgh Festival Fringe alongside our usual offering of stage reviews and interviews.
Our advertisement packages below offer an affordable way to reach a large audience interested in the stage.
We have deliberately kept our prices low to make them as accessible as possible to creatives, recognising the funding pressures of bringing shows to Edinburgh.
Packages are limited as we do not want to overwhelm our audience, so we advise securing your package as soon as possible before they sell out.
All adverts will run between June and August and we will agree the dates with you based on your needs.
Early bird booking rates (10% off) available until 28 February 2025.
