The Anatomist Escape Room at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

August 2022

To celebrate the return of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe we're extending our opening hours and accepting last minute escape room bookings throughout August!

August is here and after a couple of years of covid-induced absence, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is back with avengeance! The Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world, with something for everyone, from comedy to music, poetry and theatre. We're delighted to be located right in the heart of the hustle and bustle. In fact, our upstairs neighbours at 25 Nicolson Square (Greenside) are themselves a major Fringe venue.

During August, The Anatomist escape room Edinburgh will be open for longer hours, 7 days a week. Book your Edinburgh festival escape room experience for teams of 2-7 people, from 2pm in the afternoon to as late as 9pm in the evening (on Saturdays).

We also know that plans are sometimes a little fluid during the Fringe, and while advanced booking is still strongly advised, we'll also be accepting on the day bookings for The Anatomist Escape Room, up to 30 minutes beforehand. So if you've some down-time between shows, or your cheeks are starting to hurt from a little too much stand up, why not shift gears and take a fun, exhilarating, and immersive trip into Edinburgh's grave robbing past?

The Anatomist is a 5* rated award winning visitor attraction in the very heart of the Edinburgh festival. View our live escape room availability and book now to avoid disappointment!
