Hand Up Events are organising two events on Castle Street this summer: Castle Street Summer Fair 6 – 12 June and Fair & Ethical trade on the Fringe 7 – 13 August.

Event organiser and owner of Hand Up Events, Tania Pramschufer said: “This Summer we are really delighted to produce and promote two exciting fairs on Castle Street and look forward to a lively and social atmosphere.

“There some great eating and shopping experiences nearby so we encourage our visitors to make the most of the fair and the shops, cafés, restaurants and businesses on Castle Street itself. It is simply the best possible location for our cultural consumer shopping events that we have been running here since 2007 – right in the heart of the city.

“We are feeling excited to have gifts from a woman’s cooperative in Peru as well as showcase hand-crafted gifts from India alongside our many local Scottish businesses. At our August Fair & Ethical Trade on the Fringe we will be meeting up again with many of our great friends who come to exhibit from across the world.

Tania added: “There are not many fairs that can boast having a castle at the end of the street and is a great vantage point for a selfie! Our twitter handle is @handupevents and we hope you can join us on twitter and at the Fair.”
