Fringe TheatreFest inspires with a range of performances at exceptional prices - in 2025, £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.
