BEST FRINGE VENUE, BEST THEATRE EVENT, BEST COMEDY EVENT and SPIRIT OF THE FAIR at the 2026 Scarborough Fair Awards. We’re offering eight 3.5 hours timeslots over the course of the Fringe weekend. Prices range from £25 to £35 per timeslot. A former town centre public house, now transformed into a space for creative practitioners and artful endeavours. Scarborough Community Box Office Ltd. have adopted the venue for performances across the 2026 Scarborough Fringe and Winter Fringe Festivals. The activity space is 'T' shaped, with the performance space (in theatre style layout) across the top, and the bar and welcome space in the downstroke. The spaces are basic and raw but there will be up to 38 beautifully comfortable seats for the audience set in rows of four or five. Basic lighting and sound is present. The former bar, which is still in place, will operate as a licensed bar for most of the festival and may act as a Green Room after show space for performers when the final performance of each day is over. SCBO is a community organisation, promoting and selling tickets for community events. Events taking place at the Shakespeare Scratch Space by SCBO may be listed and sold via scbo.co.uk as well as through Scarborough Fair. Costs to the artists and to the public will remain the same. The benefit of this approach is the reach of the two organisations is greater than one of them alone. Tickets sold by SCBO will settled with 24 hours of a valid invoice.
