Lancashire Fringe Festival returns to Preston in the autumn of 2024.

We’re delighted to launch our second call out – specifically for Lancashire-based performers.

To be really clear: This call out is for performers.

Lancashire Fringe Festival 2024

New work commissions

LANCASHIRE FRINGE FESTIVAL will take place between late September and October 2024 in Preston. We want to commission a limited number of new works by local artists and performers. By local we mean Lancashire.

The new works will get £300. You’ll get to perform at the festival, you’ll get some marketing advice and support and your performance will get documented. You can see what we’ve done with the festival previously here: https://enjoyshow.co.uk/lancashire-fringe-festival/

This is a funded festival. We will pay you to develop you new work.

We are looking for a diverse range of shows and performers to be part of the festival, from spoken word and contemporary performance to live art and everything in between.

Please note this is not a call out for live music.

If you have an exciting idea and want to put it forward as a piece to be commissioned, fill in the short form below and rename this word document with your surname_firstname.

For any questions you can email Garry Cook at gazcook[at]googlemail.com

Closing date for submissions is 11.59pm, Sunday, June 16, 2024.
