2008 Fringe - up and running!

Welcome to Buxton Festival Fringe - the biggest Fringe in England (apart from Brighton...) and this year bigger than ever thanks to a record 126 entries!

Fringe Lamppost

The newly-designed full-colour free Fringe programme is now widely available but you can of course also see full listings including latest changes on the 2008 Fringe page. Many shows are now available for booking, including the Opera House online facility - see listings for details.

During the Fringe the Fringe Information Desk (next to the Opera House) is open daily between 10am and 4pm (01298 73461). Come and see us for up to date information, daily reviews and Fringe merchandise. Please also take the time to fill in our new audience survey sheet.

Why not enjoy a Fringe beer at the Old Clubhouse, join us at Fringe Sunday and the Fringe launch party or meet performers at the Fringe Club? - see Fringe programme for details.

Want to make friends and influence people? Why not contribute to our Discussion Board. We are currently collecting people's memories of 30 years of the Fringe but there is also a general discussion area for all your news and views.

More people than ever have signed up to join our growing band of Friends of the Fringe. Why not fill in a membership form at the Fringe Information Desk?

As a charity run entirely by volunteers we are always looking for new blood including reviewers for our many shows. We are also encouraging Buxton residents to come forward with offers of cheap accommodation for our Fringe entrants. See how you can help.
