Penny Tripney, Edinburgh iCentre Manager, Waverley Mall says, “VisitScotland Edinburgh iCentre are delighted to be part of Waverley Mall Festival, and in 2018 the theme certainly fits as Scotland is celebrating the Year of Young People, with 12 months packed full of events, activities, and ideas, which give young people the opportunity to shine, showcase their talents, and create new ways to stand out. With the help of some of our fantastic partners such as Camera Obscura and Deep Sea World, the iCentre team is looking forward to you joining them for a fun family event.”
Jacquelyn Stewart, Centre Manager, Waverley Mall says, “We’re really excited about Waverley Mall Festival. The city is absolutely buzzing this August, and our performances inside the mall have been going down really well, so it is great to be able to add to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe atmosphere and offer visitors an extra dimension to their trip. At Waverley Mall we’re focused on promoting authentic Scottish enterprise and talent, so this is a great opportunity for us to showcase all that this great city has to offer.’’
