In addition to our partnership being designed to address the accommodation needs of Alphabet Soup during the Fringe Festival, we hope to ensure that the artists are able to focus on what they do best – delivering exceptional comedy and entertainment to Edinburgh fringe festival-goers.
“The rising cost of festival accommodation prompted Alphabet Soup to seek an innovative solution. Recognising the historical significance and unique ambiance of Barnton Bunker, they approached us with the idea of transforming our site into a campsite for their performers. This collaboration not only offers an affordable solution for Alphabet Soup but also presents an opportunity to support the ongoing restoration efforts of Barnton Bunker.”

This collaboration shines a spotlight on the historical significance of Barnton Bunker while highlighting our ongoing restoration efforts.
