Whisky Fringe

This year the Whisky Fringe festival will return to its long-time home, Mansfield Traquair in Edinburgh, from 7–9 August 2026.

The event will be held in the Main Hall, Raeburn Room, and Garden Marquee area. Each day will play host to over 50 exhibitors from across the whisky industry, showcasing classic drams from iconic brands alongside new releases, special editions, and independently bottled treasures.

This year, we are introducing a brand new Old & Rare Room, giving festival-goers the chance to explore closed distilleries and exceptional old bottlings by exchanging tokens for drams (1 token included in ticket price).

Tokens are £2.50 each, and some bottles may cost multiple tokens. It’s a fantastic opportunity to try some seriously rare and wonderful drams at this brilliant event.
