FAQs

Although Horizon is connected to the Edinburgh Festivals, due to the ongoing uncertainty over Covid 19, and in recognition that the majority of international delegates would be unable to travel this year, Horizon is an entirely digital showcase and none of our events are open to attend in person. All of our events will be available to view/book online through the Horzion website.  

The majority of your presentations are registered with the Edinburgh Fringe and are also available to the general public to view via our Fringe venue,  Horizon Online.

We hope to be in Edinburgh in person next year.

Once logged in to the members area, you can see all the Horizon events available to you.

All event streams will be accessed through their relevant event page at the time of the event, and will also be available to ‘catch-up’ following the event. The in-conversation events and Q&A sessions will have a link posted on their relevant event page. Please give yourself some time to navigate the site and schedule what you would like to attend across the showcase.

The only shows that you need to book in advance for are the presentation of Opera Helps by Joshua Sofaer and the presentation of Every dollar is a soldier / With money you’re a dragon by Chinese Arts Now. 

Tickets for these are limited capacity and available on a first come, first served basis. Information on how to book is available on the relevant event page. 

All other events do not require advance booking and can be accessed through the relevant event page at the time of the event.

Only registered delegates and artists will have access to the presentations, residency moments, artist insights and other programmed events through the Horizon website.

For everyone else we would encourage you to visit the Ed Fringe website and view any of the following presentations with Pay What You Can tickets:
