TAKE PART

Durham Fringe is a grassroots organisation made up of local people, working alongside local businesses, looking to grow a collective dream of our own fringe festival in Durham City. 2024 will be our fourth year, and we cannot wait to welcome artists and audiences to the city once more.

Would you like to join our team? 🫵 Ours is a community Fringe Festival, centred on our brilliant performers and our wonderful city - and so we would be nothing without our army of purple-clad volunteers! Working our box offices, guiding our artists and pointing visitors in the right direction, they are always there with a smile - and a useful tip about good spots for cake, or a pint! It's not all hard work, though. Volunteering with us is a lovely way to meet local people of all ages who share a passion for the community and the arts. You also get the opportunity to see plenty of our shows, even some things you might never have expected to love. Most importantly of all, however, you get to enjoy being at the centre of the Festival, feeling the buzz and being the friendly face to hundreds of excited visitors. If you would like to join our volunteers, please email our volunteering lead at suzanne@durhamfringe.co.uk for more information. See you in the summer! @durhambid @indiedurhamcity @thisisdurham @visitdurham #visitdurham #durhamfringe #lovedurham #thisisdurham #durhambid #durham #countydurham #fringe #durhamfringefestival #durhamfringefestival2024 #lovedurham #thisisdurham #visitdurham🫵
Can you spot your show? 🧐 It's hard to believe how big the Fringe is growing to be! There's almost no more space on the social media squares... To find out what all these little posters mean, and to discover your new favourite show, visit durhamfringe.co.uk/events to browse by genre, location and more, all designed to help you find more of what you love. Durham Fringe will be running 25 - 28 July 2024 across 8 venues around Durham City Centre. @durhambid @indiedurhamcity @thisisdurham @visitdurham @culturecounty @durhamuniversity #durhamfringe #lovedurham #thisisdurham #durhambid #durham #countydurham #fringe #durhamfringefestival #durhamfringefestival2024 #lovedurham #thisisdurham
Thank you so much for your patience this afternoon whilst our website experienced some difficulties. Following our launch yesterday, we have had to carry out some urgent and unexpected repairs to the website. We hope these changes will make it easier for our artists and communities to find the information that they need. We hope that no inconvenience has been caused, but if you have experienced any issues, please contact ellen@durhamfringe.co.uk and we will endeavour to resolve as quickly as possible. Thank you again for your patience, and we look forward to seeing you all this July! -The Durham Fringe team
