Welcome to the Hot August Fringe Festival

The Hot August Fringe 2013

The Hot August Fringe festival will return this year in August from Thursday 1st to 23rd August.

We are already planning another line up of great shows and would like to hear from you if you have an idea or show that you would like to put forward for consideration. We look at everything that comes in and really enjoy taking risks. Our line ups in the past have included comedy, cabaret, theatre, music, magic, film, performance art and installations.

The programme showcases work from  some of the best avant garde artists alongside some good old fashioned entertainment, with up to three shows a night including some site specific work.

How can I take part?

Applications for the 2013 festival are now open.


NEW FOR 2013 – ‘HAF Baked’ Scratch Night

This year our festival output will include ‘HAF Baked’, a night of short scratch performances on Monday 12 August, running from 7pm to 11pm including intervals. This is an opportunity to try out new work or present shorter pieces if you are not yet ready to present a full length show.

Each act at ‘HAF Baked’ will be given a maximum slot of 15 minutes and applications are open to all genres of performance.

To apply, please complete the application form below and return it to us a.s.a.p.
