INsider Launch – Edinburgh International Festival's members scheme

Now in its third year, INsider is a special membership programme offering enthusiasts of theatre, opera, music and dance a chance to peek behind the curtain of the Festival, meet like-minded souls and enjoy year-round special offers. A year’s membership costs just £25 and will open up access to preview performances, discounts on shows, invitations to VIP parties and behind the scenes opportunities during August's Edinburgh International Festival, and throughout the following year.

Attendance at the party on Wednesday 2 May from 6 – 8pm at The Hub is free, but places are strictly limited and must be reserved in advance. Email INsider@eif.co.uk by Monday 30 April to secure your place on the list.

Last year INsider members enjoyed free backstage tours and talks with Stephen Earnhart, Director of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle; Tim Supple, Director of One Thousand and One Nights; and John Robb, EIF Head of Technical, of the set of Die Frau Ohne Schatten. Plus an exclusive out-of-hours free tour of Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Lightning Fields exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art with exhibition curator Simon Groom.

INsider events take place outside of Festival time as well – since Festival 2011 there have been evening drinks, exclusive access to cultural events and special offers only available to members.

The first details of this year’s exclusive opportunities available to INsider members will be revealed at the party.

If you want your name email INsider@eif.co.uk by Monday 30 April.
