Membership

Join as a member and get in on the act.

The best way to experience Edinburgh International Festival is as a member. You will be joining a community of people who love the arts, and your membership will support the Festival.

As a charity, we need the support of our members to help us present this world-class arts festival year on year.

Become a member of our Friend Circle and enjoy priority booking, access to member-only events and insider updates.

Or join our Ambassador Circle to enjoy a closer relationship with the Festival. Access our interval lounges and be invited to special events with the Festival programming team.

  • Silver Ambassador & Ambassador - Friday 15 March
  • Gold Friend & Silver Friend - Monday 18 March

What I love about membership is that you’re part of our Festival family.
