Bath Fringe Festival

Community Building
Creative Space
Annual fortnight festival of all the arts in May/June, which has run since 1982 and since 1992 with the current CoOperative. We run in tandem with Fringe Arts Bath, which deals more with visual arts, and we with performing, but the borders are fuzzy and porous. Almost every event is self-supporting and there is a small charge to be part of the festival, and this usually connects best with emerging, grassroots or ‘cult’ performers, but anything that Bath area artists or venues propose and is practicable is eligible. Try us!
