TV Festival Moves from Edinburgh to Manchester

The biggest TV festival in Britain is relocating from Edinburgh to Manchester starting next year, marking a historic shift after 50 years in the Scottish capital. Organizers cite soaring costs and festival congestion in Edinburgh, while Manchester won with its affordable pricing, strong infrastructure, and vibrant creative ecosystem. City leaders celebrate the move as a major boost for Manchester’s growing screen industry, backed by new local funding. Though Edinburgh and Newcastle put in strong bids, Manchester’s vision for the future and industry readiness sealed the deal — with the final Edinburgh event happening this August and Manchester’s debut slated for 2027.
