Nothing quite beats an art festival. Through them you get an opportunity to connect with others while watching a variety of performances. Yet, if you are new to art festivals, you may not know which ones you should attend. Fortunately, if you live in or plan on traveling to England, you can answer this question by checking out the Brighton Fringe, (which is also known as the Brighton Festival Fringe).
One of the many shows at this years festival:
What is the Brighton Fringe? The Brighton Fringe is England’s largest arts festival, and it runs throughout most of May. It is accessible to any member of the public, provided they buy the tickets in time. To do this participants can call or they can visit the website Brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk.
As far as the performances, they are given by artists of all levels. In fact, if you have a talent you could apply to participate in the Brighton Fringe– that’s how open it is. Some performers are professionals while others are just starting out with acting. Either way, when you attend the Brighton Fringe, performers will entertain you at over 230 different venues.
Some of these venues take place in a standard theatre environment, while others take place in more unusual places. For example, in 2007 the Brighton Fringe had a venue at a beach hut. Other years venues took place in people’s homes with art spread all over oak tables and dining room sets or private parks.
There is also a side event associated with the Brighton Fringe called "Fringe City." Originating in 2007, Fringe City gave performers an opportunity to socialize with the audience. The event continues throughout every Saturday in May, making the regular Brighton Fringe even more special.
In conclusion, if you want a different type of cultural thrill, consider attending the Brighton Fringe. It’s relatively inexpensive, yet it offers a wealth of entertainment for those who appreciate the performing arts.
