Fringe TheatreFest inspires with a range of performances at exceptional prices - in 2024, £4 to £8 in ticketed venues, pay-what-you-will bucket-collections in outside and less formal spaces.
There are wonderful local companies on show alongside performers from around the country and across the globe drawn by our reputation as perhaps the friendliest Fringe in the UK.

the benefits of Fringe TheatreFest membership...
A brochure and two free Fringe Badges (one for you and one to encourage a friend!) through the post. News and updates through the year. The opportunity to help shape the future of Fringe TheatreFest.

The £10 membership fee includes two free Fringe Badges (one for you and one to encourage a friend!) and a brochure through the post. Membership fees help defray our eco- friendly printing costs - brochures, badges, Frequent-Fringers, posters, leaflets and venue signage.
As a member, you receive email updates through the year and invitations to meetings and events.
You have the right to take part in the election of the committee that superintends the activites of Fringe TheatreFest and you have the opportunity to contribute to the meetings of that committee.
