Fringe TheatreFest inspires with a range of performances at exceptional prices - £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.

If you're looking for a paper-brochure to help you plan your itinerary, you'll find them at the Queen's Theatre and Barnstaple Library. If you wish to support the Fringe by becoming a member, you will receive a brochure (and badges) through the post. See below for further details.
