Barnstaple Fringe Theatrefest  will take place from June 21 to 24 this year despite the end of the North Devon Festival.

Now in its sixth year, Fringe TheatreFest is unlike any other Fringe Theatre Festival in the UK - but is very like a whole raft of Fringe Theatre Festivals in Canada.

For a very modest participation fee (£35), productions get a venue, three performances, a technician, front-of-house staff, box-office facilities, an entry in the Fringe TheatreFest brochure and 100% of the box-office take.

Fringe TheatreFest is a lively, friendly celebration of theatre in its many and varied forms. It provides theatre-makers with an opportunity to develop new work, to put existing work in front of new audiences, to network with other theatre-makers, to see a range of inspirational work in a concentrated period of time and to forge introductions with regional promoters.
