Working in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council we deliver the Outdoor Advertising scheme for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Out of Hand handles the entire scheme covering all aspects such as building temporary advertising structures, installing the advertising, maintenance and break down at the end of the Fringe.

We utilise over 800 sites throughout the city center and completely transform the city during the busy festival season with approx.

Building the advertising structures around central Edinburgh and ferrying equipment to and from the warehouse to the build teams.
