TAKING PART IN THE SCARBOROUGH FAIR 2026
Whether you’re a professional performer, arts organisation, school or community group, this is your chance to take part in the next Scarborough Fringe and Scarborough Art.
These are open-access events, which means anyone can register to take part, whether you’re a fringe veteran or a first timer who wants to try new material.
Registration is £30, with a 50% discount for residents of the following postcodes: YO11, YO12, YO13 or YO14.
The Scarborough Fair festivals offer 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.
Help session for Fringe and Art registrations
We will also be running a help session for registrations at The Old Parcels Office on Tuesday 13th January, following the Creative Cluster meeting (approx. 6.30pm onwards). This is well worth attending! Book your free ticket here.
