Edinburgh TV Festival Relocating After Fifty Years in Shock Move

The Edinburgh TV Festival will relocate to Greater Manchester after fifty years in the Scottish capital. This decision follows an extensive consultation and competitive bidding process involving several British cities, overseen by the festival's board of directors. The event, which serves as the biggest annual gathering for the British TV industry and typically occurs in late August, will hold its final edition in Edinburgh in 2026 before moving to its new home.
