Celebrations for next year's 30th anniversary of the Buxton Festival Fringe began on Friday Nov 7th 2008 with Buxton Opera House's hugely successful Fringe30 gala evening.
Thanks to the Opera House's support, this show to celebrate the Fringe's 30th anniversary in 2009 was probably the best-value Fringe event ever with over three hours of fun ranging from surreal outbursts from comedian/poet Tam Hinton, to George Telfer's remarkable mini one-man-shows portraying John Gielgud, Prince Philip and Richard Burton. A real variety show, Fringe30 was hosted by genial singer Sam Dunkley and included sets by singer Katu, dancers Spiltmilk, Buxton's own Three's Company and others - all for a remarkable £8 a ticket. Read more about this fabulous event and see pictures in our gallery.
