The New Gate Fringe Festival offers a unique blend of music, dance, drama, art, comedy, tours and debates. We would encourage people to attend as many of the events as possible; spaces are limited, so early booking is advised. We are delighted to see a return of in person events, although we have decided to air in the side of caution, with smaller and many more localised events. We hope that the programme will engage various communities throughout the city and district. To find out whats on check out the festival digital brochure here.
