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.

Thanks to everyone who applied. We were truly blown away by the amount of talent and creativity on show. We aim to start making offers from the first week of March. Key dates can be found here.
