Edinburgh Festival 2024

[aka blue jambo]

Any of you lot up this year either performing or holidaying?

First time not going for years (apart from covid).
Accommodation has got bloody ridiculous. I can get a weekend for two somewhere hot, with flights, for the cost of a decent apartment during the Fringe.
A shame because I always thoroughly enjoy it.

Also he pre tempted a couple of months ago we would top the group so got his flight for £17 just looked now £303.

Aye more like one of the basic Manchester ones.
Prices are creeping up though.
Will be around there a lot as a few good free fringe venues.
I recommend Ian Stone

I was reading about the cost of living increase the other day and the article stated inflation had stabilised at 2%. It did say however, there were exceptions where prices were by far outstripping inflation, hotels was one of them, absolutely scandalous prices.

Prices are way high, for the Ipswich game, Saturday, the two Village Hotels in Hyde and Ashton are £153 and the Holiday Inn Express just out of town is £250. Those prices are over a 100% extra from a couple of years ago.
