Take Part in Scarborough Fringe
HOW TO TAKE PART
Whether you’re a professional performer, arts organisation, school or community group, a fringe veteran or a first-timer who wants to try a new idea, this is your chance to take part in the second Scarborough Fringe. This is an open-access event which means anyone can register to take part, and anything goes! Registration is £10 for YO11, YO12, YO13 or YO14 residents, and £20 for everyone else. Deadline for registrations is 9am on Monday 10 March 2025.
Once again, we are offering financial bursaries to anyone who lives in YO11, YO12, YO13 and YO14, for assistance in putting on an event. These are for up to £350, and a form is available to download here. Applications for bursaries need to be received by 9am on Monday 24 February 2025.
The Fringe is also an opportunity for venues and businesses to host, programme or curate shows and events that are tailored to what they want and of a style that they particularly like or suits their venue. Registrations are free for venues, who can sign up here.
