What is the fringe?

 

Fringe  [Middle English frenge, from Vulgar Latin frimbia.] fring'y
- Decorative border of hanging threads, something marginal, peripheral or on the edge, a fantastic haircut or hairy curtain.

D.I.Y.  - do-it-yourself.

Festival - celebration: revelry; merrymaking., atmosphere of unrestrained joy.

 

The Fringe '09 could not happened with out all the people and businesses in the community who have helped us.

Special Thanks for financial support and lovely in kinds to  Hands On Art, Common Collective, Losource, Love 2 Dance, Hole In T' Wall, and Spirals.

 

Get involved!

The Fringe is an opportunity for all.

We are now seeking people to help with photography, web linking, stewarding, hanging banners, making and selling cakes.

And we also really need the support of practical, technical, helpful types.

If you have other skills, get in touch and we can probably link you up with an event.

Get Fringey and Fringe On!

If you have links with, or are a local business keen to support the creative community work of The Fringe please contact us. We are seeking gifts for raffles and.... money to cover important yet essential costs. £500 would be a magical windfall that would create many smiles and whoops of joy!

Why the fringe?

Being Alive In The World Today

The Fringe brings local talents, encourages community cohesiveness, and supports self-expression. We inspire people to discover their own potential. We proudly showcase existing artists and tempt those who are artists at heart.
