This weekend, tens of thousands of people are expected to flock to Edinburgh Festival Fringe, meaning there will be hundreds of attendees for every bar stool – but instead of letting punters stand, one Underbelly bar is not only guaranteeing them a seat, but letting them take it home with them…
Nestled in Underbelly’s leafy George Square venue is one of its biggest attractions, The Woodsman Whisky Tipi – a fully stocked bar complete with deck chairs, chesterfield sofas, a crackling TV-campfire and 7ft bear cleverly named Woody The Bear.
But with a popular festival bar, comes the notorious struggle for a prime resting spot to enjoy a drink. Which is why, The Woodsman decided to do something about it!
On Saturday 10th August, the first 20 people who attend The Woodsman Tipi between 4pm and 6pm will be given the best seat in the bar – literally – because they’ve built limited edition stools to give away.
Carved exclusively for the 2019 festival, each of The Woodsman’s stools are individually hand-crafted, honed from scorched birch plywood and finished with the bottle’s distinctive logo engraved on top.
The sturdy stools are collapsible for easy transport – meaning festivalgoers can easily take their seat home. And for attendees who are heading to another show, The Woodsman will arrange delivery to their homes.
As well as being given the unique seats, the lucky attendees will be invited to enjoy a refreshing serve of The Woodsman in a VIP area of the bar too!
