BRIGHTON FRINGE 2024 bursary winning EVENTs to catch this fringe

With just over a week to go until Brighton Fringe 2024 kicks off, and nearly 750 events live on the website, here are our bursary winning events that you should check out this Fringe.

Each year, Brighton Fringe partners with local and national charities, companies and organisations to offer out various bursaries for artists. These bursaries have a range of offerings, such as free registrations, financial support or in-kind support, along with bursary criteria relevant to their interests and missions.

We offer a range of bursaries each year for artists, and for 2024 we introduced venue bursaries, offering them extra support during their Brighton Fringe run. If you're not sure what to see this Fringe, take a look at our bursary winning events for some talented and wonderful recommendations!
