GET INVOLVED!
Welcome to the Fringe. This page will help to answer all your questions about what the Fringe is, how to be a part of it, and the different ways you can get involved.
What is the Fringe?
The Brighton Festival Fringe is the biggest open access, mixed arts festival in England. Anyone can take part and run an event on as part of Brighton Festival Fringe - all you need to do is confirm your event details and complete the online registration form and payment. The Brighton Festival Fringe office then employs the twin marketing tools of the brochure & the website, provides countless press and marketing opportunities and a one-stop, 24 hour ticketing facility.
There are a number of ways you can be a part of the Fringe...
