PRESS RELEASE: For immediate release June 22nd 2020
There is fun for all the family at this year’s Buxton Fringe (July 1-19).
Children are invited to use their imaginations to create the castle Buxton has never had in Creeping Toad’s online workshop in conjunction with Buxton Museum, Lost Castles. The same team is also offering a series of activities to help children to create their own display cabinets, turning their prized collections into miniature museums.
Fringe regulars Stone and Water will be offering carefully socially-distanced make sessions in the Pavilion Gardens on July 12 with help on how to decorate your very own treasure boxes. Details on booking a timed slot are on the Buxton Fringe website. Families will also enjoy sitting down to see The Red Balloon, Lucky Dog’s take on the classic 1956 short film, judged ‘outstanding’ in its Fringe review last year and now available online.
Fun is never far away from the minds of Buxton Fringe organisers and a new Fringe & Community category features Fringe jigsaws and crosswords as well as a chance to revisit glorious Fringe Sundays past and last year’s spectacular Fringe40 exhibition via online links. There is even a chance to arrange a bespoke micro-performance down the line via its new Phone@5 initiative.
More entries are coming in by the day. For full details of all the performances at Buxton Fringe including Comedy, Theatre, Music, Spoken Word, Visual Arts and more see www.buxtonfringe.org.uk or the free Buxton Fringe App. Fringe Chair Stephen Walker says: “We hope that after months of lockdown, parents and children tiring of home schooling will find some imaginative fun in this year's Fringe programme for children and families".
The Fringe wishes to thank its sponsor The University of Derby as well as financial supporters The Trevor Osborne Charitable Trust and High Peak Borough Council, its Fringe Friends and the town’s many Fringe supporters and venues.
