PRESS RELEASE 17th February 2013 For immediate release
Buxton Festival Fringe is encouraging potential actors, musicians, comedians and exhibitors to think ahead to the summer by booking their venue and signing up for this year's event. Although there is plenty of time left to enter, the early booking period, with entry costing just £45, runs out on 28 February. After that, from 1 to 31 March the entry fee is £65 and from 1 to 21 April it is £80.
Chair Keith Savage comments: 'There are already quite a few entries in for this year including the popular evening of close-up magic, music favourites The City of Manchester Opera, Partita and Tideswell Male Voice Choir, plus lots of events across all categories. It is great that the Fringe is expanding its reach to New Mills with two events already scheduled at Spring Bank Arts Centre. You can see the programme shaping up on our website http://www.buxtonfringe.org.uk.'
This year in addition to the established Underground Venues we have a second managed venue called The Market Place, Sian Dudley's new venture makes use of two clubs in that part of town, Level 2 and The Trunk. For more details on that and all the other venues see the venues page on the Fringe website.
The website also features lots of help for entrants including an ever-growing venues list and tips on how to increase audiences. Entrants wishing to perform with Underground Venues should work to their earlier deadlines as detailed on their website http:// undergroundvenues.co.uk/.
The Fringe is grateful to all its venues around the town including the spectacular Dome, home of the Fringe's main sponsor, The University of Derby Buxton. This year's Fringe runs from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 27 July.
