August Highlights from JustBe
August is always a magical month in Edinburgh, especially when you live, work, and love the Fringe as much as I do. The city bursts to life with the world’s largest arts festival, hosting over 50,000 performances across every genre imaginable.
This year, marking the Festival’s 70th anniversary, felt extra special with the launch of our JustBe Fringe chocolates. If you follow us on Instagram, you’ll have seen some familiar faces enjoying a bar or two. Some encounters didn’t make it onto camera – but I was thrilled to share chocolate with Sir David Attenborough, Graham Norton and Steve Wright (who even mentioned us on his Radio 2 show, broadcast live from Edinburgh!).
Our Golden Ticket competition was featured in i-on magazine and with some big prizes still unclaimed, there’s still time to win.
The JustBe Loved Fringe Award went to Secrets Life of Humans for their captivating theatre piece at the Pleasance Courtyard.
Meanwhile, our #edfringeinyourmouth photo competition winner captured our JustBe Fringe Fresh Spearmint bar relaxing in sunny Bali. And to top it all off, JustBe Loved chocolate and JustBe Active herbal tea both received a Great Taste Award this year – the sweetest ending to a whirlwind month!
