Research Reports
On this page you can find a number of reports which have been written about the Festivals to help them:
- identify their current impact: such as the periodic Impact Studies which embrace the ambitious challenge of understanding and benchmarking the impacts of Edinburgh’s Festivals beyond the purely financial
- aid their future planning: such as the Thundering Hooves Reports (metaphorically named after the sound of the competition catching up with Edinburgh) which made/make recommendations to ensure that Edinburgh’s role as the world's leading festival city is secured into the future
