Children's Shows at the Edinburgh Fringe — Thursday 20 August 2026

Children's shows at the Fringe amount to a festival of their own: puppetry, interactive storytelling, science comedy, gentle first-theatre experiences and productions built for specific age ranges. Daytime scheduling keeps things manageable for families, and the age guidance on listings helps you match a show to your crew. Much of it is as inventive as anything in the grown-up programme.
