DURHAM FRINGE PRESENTS

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Durham Fringe Presents events. We hope to be back with another season of shows soon…

Over the past five years, the Durham Fringe Festival has become a vibrant platform for emerging and independent artists, attracting growing audiences — with more than 9,000 tickets sold in 2025 — and driving creative activity across the city.

As we continue to grow, we want to offer more opportunities to local talent and bring Durham a taste of the Fringe all year round. Between November 2025 and February 2026, we partnered with one of the Fringe’s earliest venues, Fabio’s Bar to host a trial of monthly showcases, spotlighting some of the incredible talent in North East England.

It was a great success and we hope to be back with more Durham Fringe Presents events very soon…
