The Fringe celebrated its 40th year in 2019 with a bumper festival before having to reinvent itself as a largely online event in 2020. It was back with a bang in 2021 however with an exciting live programme of theatre, music, comedy and more. 2022’s dates have been announced as July 6-24 with the Fringe website open for entries from December 1 2021. See www.buxtonfringe.org.uk for full details.
Acting Fringe chair Stephen Walker comments: "After a long run of Zoom meetings, we've started meeting in person again, so it's much easier for newcomers to meet us and find out more about what we do. The AGM is the perfect opportunity to do so.”
