Bath Fringe 2027 will run

The Update List
There is still confusion after the Fringe: the Carmina Trio event listed in our print programme for Sunday 14th June, has had to be postponed, by the band. But they will be now doing a larger and more exciting lineup to celebrate their new CD on Sunday October 11th at The Bell as part of Bath Folk Festival. Something similar has happened to the Dragonsfly gig [June 10], which has moved to September 23rd. I’m not suggesting a pattern here…
In all cases this website is obviously more up-to-date than the print and is always worth checking for late details.

Programme Out NOW!
Our printed programmes have arrived and will be all round the city shortly if not already: if you want to find one for sure, try The Bell. This website is being updated but we seenm to have a problem with some of the ‘search’ facility: the style links on the search page are working, however
Registration Process Open NOW!
Got a show for us?
Then EMail wendy[at]bathfringe.co.uk and let her conduct you down the road to Fringe registration!
Copy Deadline is Monday March 2nd
There will be time to revise details after that, though we’d prefer it if eveything was already settled, and late submission can affect your impact.
Registration fee is [still!] £50, with discounts for repeat events, series, etc.
There are a lot of details & guidance on this site, or linked from here. Start with this page.
More details and any changes will be posted here on the site.
Fringe 2026 Open Meeting
The public-facing Fringe year begins in January: January 12th, to be precise, when we hold our annual OPEN MEETING.
This year we’re close to home at The Bell Back Bar, right next to our office, and it’s at 6pm.
The meeting is specifically aimed at people who haven’t done our Fringe – or any Fringe – before, but we’d be happy to see you if you’ve been with us already, especially if you’re contemplating something more ambitious, or looking for collaborators, bill-sharers, or any general advice. We’ve been doing this a while and some of what we know is still useful…
There is general advice to be found elsewhere on this website, start with the page Putting a show into Bath Fringe. We will be announcing the 2026 deadlines early next year, but if you were to assume Registration was from early February and copy deadlines in early March, you wouldn’t be far wrong. Anything you need to know right now, EMail us!
What this isn’t is anything to do with Fringe Arts Bath [FaB]: their application and preparation process is completely different, and can be approached by looking at www.fringeartsbath.co.uk.
This website is still transitioning and has not yet emerged in its new year glory, but Bath Fringe 2026 will run on the usual date range May 22 – June 7.

Thanks it was LOVELY
We’ll have reports and suchlike all in good time.
We have an Audience Research Questionnaire here, if you want to help us for a minute. It was made for Bedlam but is suitable for giving us feedback on all aspects of the Fringe, as well as a bit of telling us what we need to know [we don’t sell or pass on our data].
Programme here there and everywhere!
Not only is the 2025 programme visible here on the website, but it’s also avilable in its full printed glory at many locations in Bath [try Harvest or The Bell if you want to be 100% certain of finding one] – and some outside the city too in the coming days. If you think of a place where they ought to be and aren’t, you could even let us know…
If you want us to send you one in the post, send us an A4 self-addressed envelope with a ‘large letter’ stamp on it.
There’s one to download on the downloads page [under ‘About The Fringe’, above] or through this link.
It’s great reading!!
Bath Fringe 2025 Registration Open Now
It’s time to put thoughts into action if you want to be in Bath Fringe 2025. Our registration process will shortly go online, to start off you need to EMail wendy[at]bathfringe.co.uk and she will make it work for you.
There is a brief guide to putting a show or act into the festival if you look under ‘get involved’ on the menu at the top of the page.
Anything more difficult, we’re happy to advise, EMail us !
Like the bigger Fringes in Edinburgh & Brighton, Bath Fringe does not currently run events itself; we work with promoters and venues, and the classic style of event comes from artists hiring venues – sometimes unusual ones – to put themselves on.
Bath Fringe 2025 runs from Friday May 23 to Sunday June 8
Our website is in the process of being updated
We have the 2025 artwork to announce imminently
…it’s all happening!
