Edinburgh based venue, Surgeons Quarter (SQ), welcomed 250,000 visitors during the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival.

The Fringe brought record numbers for the venue, for visitor numbers on its Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh’s (RCSEd). SQ also increased its occupancy to 99.5% at its on-site, Ten Hill Place Hotel across the month of August.

Scott Mitchell, managing director of SQ said: “The buzz in Edinburgh during the Fringe this year was incredible. To see our venues, and Edinburgh, transform into a hive of creativity and culture was very special.

This year we have been able to host nearly 250 shows, with 120,000 audience members, which is just incredible. While the numbers are astounding, it is only testament to the quality of entertainment and service of those who performed and worked with us this year.”
