Today one of the UK’s friendliest cities unveiled the third edition of one of the UK’s fastest growing cultural festivals, Carlisle Fringe, which takes place from 24th August to 2nd September.
Placing community and artistic collaboration at its core, Carlisle Fringe is centred around the historic city and its people. The jam-packed programme is a reflection and celebration of the city, showcasing the hugely creative local talent alongside national work, harnessed and embraced by the collaborative spirit and passion for cultural creativity over ten days and nights of cultural class.
Fringe audiences new and old are asked to Step Out of the Ordinary, take a punt on something new and delve into the diverse festival programme which explores a range of issues and themes such as female empowerment and disability across established and emerging theatre, music, comedy, dance and cabaret shows and events, the majority of which are free to attend.
