In partnership with Durham BID, we’re encouraging as many businesses as possible to get involved in the festival through “Fringe Week” — offers for Durham Fringe goers. For example, this could be a discount, a reduced price set menu, or something else that fits with the nature of your business. Please email us before Sunday 30 June with the following:

We will list your offer on the festival website and email to ticket bookers.

We also invite you to hold your own Festival Celebration, feel free to celebrate with us; create a window display in your shop, have lunchtime drinks/coffee reception at your office, arrange a fun festival-related activity for your staff, make a group booking for one of our amazing shows, take a wacky festival-themed photograph to send into us, display our leaflets and posters in your hotel or establishment, or you might have your own ideas. We are really keen for shops and businesses to display our posters and leaflets, so please do get in touch and we’ll do all we can to get you in the festival mood!

This year, we’re seeking Hosting Partners to help us look after artists and performers when they’re in the city, as well as our team of local volunteers. We are looking for a cohort of food & beverage businesses in the city centre who could offer up to a £10 discount per individual — to be redeemed on the presentation of a voucher. The vouchers would only be valid during the week of the festival (22nd–28th July). You will receive priority acknowledgement in our printed programme (circulation – 10,000) and on our website and social channels.
