 The Hive
is a brand new free Fringe venue for the Laughing Horse in 2009, located right in the heart of
town on Niddry street, in the underground vaults beneath North Bridge, just seconds from the
Royal Mile and Cowgate, minutes from the Fringe Office!
With two large rooms featuring Fringe shows
throughout the day, and a nightclub taking over from 9.30pm the Hive is set to be a lively
addition to the Free Festival, with a fantastic set-up for big shows, especially theatre and
comedy. The two performance spaces are located around the main bar, which serves a slection of
drinks throughout the day. Do keep an eye out for the resident ghost!
The Hive is a popular late night haunt throughout
the year, known for its generous promotions and varied music policy - and during the festival
this is no exception, with the nightclub running after the shows finish from 9.45pm to 5am
every night - any given night you can be treated to pop and chart, indie and electro, rock and
metal or drum and bass. As a club it holds up to 650 people and there there is often a combo
of live music and club nights in these underground vaults. |
