BRIGHTON

FRINGE’S FAVOURITE FESTIVAL SITE

IS BACK! Spotted The Warren yet? We’ve got four theatres, where you can catch a carefully curated programme of more than 150 shows spanning theatre, comedy, cabaret, dance, opera, spoken word, music and film.

That raised deck full of grinning people? That’s our new rooftop bar, designed for sunny days and twinkly Fringe nights. It joins our popular (ground-level) festival bar, and a coffee shop open from 8am each day.

We love seeing kids enjoying the site as much as their parents so we’ve stepped things up a notch there too; welcome to The Den, a month-long hub for fun – free – family activities and entertainment.

And why not take a wander through Market Town – a bustling collection of stalls run by friendly independent traders – before picking up something tasty from some of the best street food traders in town?

It’s all the fun of a festival, without the camping and dodgy loos.

See you on the Fringe! Love, Nicky, Tom, Josh and Rich x
