Buxton Fringe has reported a huge surge in entries with performers eager to tread the boards after two years of Covid disruption.
By the end of the discounted ‘early bird’ entry period, 83 entries had signed up for the open-to-all arts festival which will take place from July 6th to 24th.
Fringe chair Stephen Walker said: “We are gratified by the number of entrants committing to the Fringe this early.
“It shows confidence that we are getting back to business as usual after two Covid-affected years, and it looks very much like we will be back to a bumper Fringe in July."
Performers entering by the end of March can still take advantage of a reduced entry fee of £70. The strict final deadline for the printed programme is April 17th.
A sneak preview of Fringe talent will be offered at the Fringe’s open-to-all event Springboard, at The Green Man Gallery on Saturday 19 March.
