2014 Edinburgh Fringe

Venue 170: The Counting House

The Counting House has been a free venue for over a decade, and is one of the largest free venues in Edinburgh, with six rooms between this venue and it's linked venues 32 Below and The Pear Tree every day from 10:00 to 03:00. There's a massive outdoor courtyard, four bars, a full restaurant food selection and giant Outdoor screen. What better place could you hang out during the Fringe?
