why perform at Fringe TheatreFest 2026?
Fringe TheatreFest provides an affordable context in which to develop new work, give further life to existing productions and introduce a company to North Devon audiences. But primarily Fringe TheatreFest is a meeting place to forge new relationships and to get inspired!
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.
