AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BRIGHTON FRINGE
Following the announcement by the UK Government urging the general public not to visit “pubs, clubs, or theatres” and advice from Brighton & Hove City Council, Brighton Fringe has announced that it will be postponing the festival, due to run 1 – 31 May, until September/October 2020.
Brighton Fringe is contacting all stakeholders and has issued a public statement from Brighton Fringe CEO Julian Caddy, which can be found here.
We’re encouraging companies to liaise directly with their venues about the possibility of delaying their event to this later Autumn festival. We’ll be in touch soon with next steps for rescheduling events and the process for doing this.
Registration fees for Brighton Fringe 2020 (May) can be rolled over to these later dates and we’re looking forward to welcoming as many of you as possible then.
If you’ve booked advertising with us, please email marketing@brightonfringe.org.
Brighton Fringe is offering ticket buyers the opportunity to hold their tickets on account to be reused for either the rescheduled festival dates or Brighton Fringe 2021. In some cases, we will be offering audiences the option of converting their ticket into a donation that will be given to participating artists to help mitigate the financial impact. If events are unable to reschedule and therefore have to cancel, ticket buyers are entitled to a refund.
If you have any questions, please do get in touch at takepart@brightonfringe.org or call us on 01273764907.
BCOM provide an inclusive environment for ALL forms of comedy and for ALL audience members! So you can sit back and enjoy the best sketch, character, improv, music, poetry and stand up from around the country, and we can welcome a unique and diverse line up of performances every single month!
For acts interested in a 7 minute spot, please drop us a message on www.facebook.com/BrightonCOM, with a brief description of your act and where possible a short video! Thanks!
