NEWS

Since we first brought Exeter Fringe Festival to the city in 2019, things have changed beyond our wildest imaginings! It’s not just Covid, it’s the funding landscape, cultural organisations & leaders in the city, and changes in our own lives and careers too.

[Exeter Fringe Festival @ExeFringe]

Really excited that these brilliant organisations are coming together to support artists in Exeter!

Including @ExeterNorthcott, @ExeterBarnfield, @exeter_phoenix, @ExeterLibrary, @MaketankExeter, and @thehallexeter. It has truly been a pleasure working with you all and we’re excited to see what comes next. We’ll be cheering you on!

For now though, we’d like to thank all our fantastic partners who helped us to put on a festival in 2019 and 2021 and to all the artists and audiences we met along the way.

At Exeter Fringe we’ve taken a few months to reflect and (sort of) rest after our 2021 Festival last October.

We’ve decided that we won’t be producing a festival in 2022. There’s a mix of reasons behind this, but the main one is capacity.

[Exeter Fringe Festival @ExeFringe]

We’d like to thank you all for your support at the 2021 festival, and look forward to announcing more about the future of Exeter Fringe Festival as it’s confirmed. Sign up to our newsletter at https://t.co/5U2stMXO8k to be the first to hear.
