In the third episode of the Edinburgh festivals series on the Scottish English Podcast, we explore three major but lesser-known festivals that take place in Edinburgh each August.

Learn about the UK's largest annual visual arts event, the Edinburgh Art Festival, the vibrant Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, and the literary haven of the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

Understand the challenges facing these festivals, from rising accommodation costs to accessibility issues, and engage in a lively discussion about the future of Edinburgh's summer celebrations.

Join us to uncover the rich creative culture of one of the world's leading festival cities.
