Buxton Fringe provided a significant financial boost to the town, with combined audience and performer spending resulting in a huge contribution to the local economy.
The estimated figure was £217,331 including expenditure from performers during their stay in Buxton plus audience spend on food, accommodation, and ticket sales for shows by local performers.
This conservative estimate does not include Fringe organisers’ additional local expenditure on printing, design, and Fringe Information Desk wages amongst other costs.
Ticket sales were also up by 110 per cent on 2021’s Covid-affected Fringe.
Next year’s Fringe will be held from 5 to 23 July.
