What is Brighton Fringe
Here at Brighton Fringe, we aim to entertain and educate thousands of people, and bring...
The curtains have drawn on the 2018 season of Brighton Fringe, but not without a last hurrah. Last night, Brighton Fringe’s biggest and brightest congregated at the annual awards ceremony to take their curtain call.
Every year, the Brighton Fringe Awards celebrate the outstanding performances and events that make the festival fly. A whole host of awards celebrate the variety of art forms on show at the Fringe, and each award recognizes the respective recipients in a unique way. All companies who win an award also win a free registration to take part in Brighton Fringe the following year.
This year Brighton Fringe is excited to host two new awards: the Voice Arts Award, which supports the development of creativity and leadership skills; and the Marlborough Development Award, which supports LGBTQ+ performers taking risks and working in interdisciplinary ways.
With a plethora of exciting new talent and people gathering from all around the country, almost 90,000 tickets were sold at Brighton Fringe 2018.
Congratulations to all those who participated and a huge thank you to all our supporters.
