Edinburgh’s August headlines focus on the Fringe Festival. But the Edinburgh International Festival held over the same period represents the zenith of curated arts programming globally for the performing arts: opera, classical music, the highest quality theatre, and dance put on by the most renowned performers from around the globe in Edinburgh’s premiere venues. For visitors to Edinburgh who appreciate high-quality arts and culture, the International Festival is an excellent reason to plan an entire trip around it.
And since a trip to the International Festival should be a “proper” one, you should arrive in “proper” transportation. Edinburgh Minibus Company is the premier option for coach hire to and from the International Festival so you arrive in the style that the event warrants.
An Event in which the Perfect Arrival is Mandatory
The Usher Hall, The Festival Theatre, The King’s Theatre and The Hub are world renowned venues for the Edinburgh International Festival, and each helps create the ambiance needed to stage incredible performances. Showing up at an opera or landmark concert in a rushed, late, disorganized way is not how one should start a night’s entertainment.
Renting a luxury coach specifically dedicated to your group will make your group arrive as one unit, relaxed and on time. Pulling up to The Usher Hall in your private coach adds to the appropriateness of the occasion; the event starts as soon as you step into the coach.
Corporate Groups & Cultural Nights
The International Festival is an important event in the corporate hospitality calendar of Edinburgh. Many companies use the event to purchase blocks of tickets for client entertainment, team reward nights, or for networking events that are associated with world-class performances. For corporate groups, hiring a coach in Edinburgh (e.g. to transport people to and from corporate events or conferences) goes beyond just transportation — it’s about providing a high-quality corporate experience throughout the entire event.
All of the coaches offered by Edinburgh Minibus Company have free Wi-Fi, charging facilities, and fully reclining seats with executive-like comfort and finish. Hence, your team or customers can travel to the event in true comfort so that they arrive in a fully refreshed state, ready to enjoy the event. Likewise, the return trip — after the event, relaxed, possibly engaged in enthusiastic discussion with your colleagues — will provide the same type of quality experience you would expect from using a bus for your corporate travel.
Dining Before and After the Show
If your group would like to combine a visit to the International Festival with dinner at one of Edinburgh’s many fine restaurants, we can arrange for you to have your own exclusive coach for the evening. The coach will enable your group to enjoy the following: drinks before the show, dinner, the show, and supper after the show — all with the same bus/driver in place for the entire night!
There is no need to park your car, after finding a designated driver. Your group can enjoy a seamless, elegant night out from start to finish!
