The Horse Box is a unique venue - it is an actual horse box! First seen in 2024 for two line-up shows, the space was liked so much as an unusual venue it will be returning in 2025.
It is located outside of Dropkick Murphys venue, and will feature shows each Sunday only, day times during the Fringe - and this years will have seating and other things around it as Merchant Street is closed to make the 'Horse Box Gardens'.
It available for one of shows, shows each sunday - or any Fringe shows who want to add on a date in the Fringe's most unique venue.
