Want to bring a show to the Fringe? We're here to help
04 November 2019
Do you want to bring a show to the Fringe? Come meet the team and let us help you find out if Edinburgh's right for you.
We’re running some in-person information sessions over the coming weeks and months where we’ll guide you through the initial steps of bringing a show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Sessions are free and many conclude with the opportunity to meet Fringe venues that are looking for shows for August 2020. You can book your place using the online registration forms below. There'll also be some seats reserved on the day but these are only available on a first-come, first-served basis so we strongly recommend registering in advance to avoid disappointment.
