Graham Norton

Live at Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh is delighted to welcome back Graham Norton for a very special live Virgin Radio broadcast, marking the first Sunday of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and kicking off our month of festival fun across the hotel.

Hosted in our atmospheric Greyfriars Hall, this intimate event places guests right at the centre of the Fringe - with stories, celebrity guests and behind‑the‑scenes festival moments shared live on air. With an audience capped at just 65 people, this is a rare chance to experience one of Britain’s most loved broadcasters up close.

As an official Ambassador for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Graham will be joined by broadcaster, comedian and podcast co‑host Maria McErlane, with further special guests to be announced in the lead‑up to the event.

Whether you’re visiting the city for the Fringe or a local looking for something truly special, this is a one‑off afternoon of conversation, comedy and culture - right in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. 

Upgrade & Stay

Make a day of it - or a full Fringe weekend.

Guests can upgrade their ticket to include a Long Italian Lunch at Eve, Virgin Hotels Edinburgh’s vibrant neighbourhood Italian restaurant, before the live broadcast. A limited number of overnight packages are also available for Saturday and Sunday night, offering the perfect base just moments from the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and the city’s most in‑demand Fringe venues.
