Support us by becoming a Fringe Friend
The Fringe is a registered charity run by volunteers. You can support the Fringe by becoming a Fringe Friend.
Click here to fill in our online form...
Note: If you are looking at this during the Fringe itself, you can get your membership card quickly by filling in the form at the back of the printed Fringe programme and handing it into the Fringe Desk in the Pavilion Gardens with cash/cheque payable to Buxton Festival Fringe. The Desk is only open during the Fringe.
As a Fringe Friend, you will have:
- 10% reduction on tickets during the Fringe *
- 10% off our Fringe umbrellas (down to £18) as well as our lovely tote bags (down to £4.50), available at the Fringe Desk. Our wonderful Fringe T shirts are also for sale with a 10% discount.
- discounts at various establishments in the town**
- new Fringe programme and badge delivered as a priority to your home address
- regular communications to keep you up-to-date about Fringe events
- invitations to social events throughout the year and to the Fringe Awards ceremony
- great satisfaction knowing that you are doing your bit to promote the arts, support such a worthwhile arts charity, and help safeguard the future of the Fringe, an event that enriches the cultural life of the town and makes a significant difference to the local economy.
And all this for only £15 single/£25 joint membership where two people live at the same address.
* NB For events booked through the Opera House's online booking system or by phone, you will need the Fringe Friend promo code. Please show your Friends card when picking up tickets.
