Newcastle Fringe Festival - UK

Hello Fringe pals 💛

We’ve had so many messages asking about 2026 applications, and it means the world to see how much love and excitement there is.

That said, we have some disappointing news.
We won’t be going ahead with the festival this year. As a very small team, we simply don’t have the time and resources to deliver this year.

However!!!! This isn’t the end of NFF. We’ve got some exciting things in the works, so keep an eye on our socials for what’s coming next.

We can’t wait to see you all again soon!!
Team Fringe

We know it's not yet December but we're very excited to say we have teamed up with for a festive sing along party. You get a free drink with your ticket, there's live trumpet and piano.

The earlier you buy your tickets the cheaper it is! So get them now!

That’s a wrap on Newcastle Fringe Festival 2025 and what an unforgettable whirlwind it’s been! 🎭🎉

With 8 venues, over 100 shows, 10 sold-out performances, and more than 3000 attendees (WOW!), this was our biggest and most ambitious year yet. It was a huge leap for all involved, and we are beyond grateful to every single person who came along to support our artists, our venues, and the festival as a whole. 🙌

We had the joy of witnessing so many incredible performances across the week and we were blown away. The talent, the audiences, the energy, the venues – just WOW. ✨

A massive shout-out goes to everyone who made this year possible: our brilliant performers and creative teams, dedicated venue staff, tireless volunteers, incredible tech teams, and of course, you, our audience. 💖

Your support, your curiosity, your willingness to explore something new and take a chance on local and emerging work is what keeps this festival alive and thriving. 🥰

For now, Team Fringe is off for a well-earned hibernation... 💤
See you next year?

Love,
Ali, Chloe & Laura x ✨
