An annual multi-arts festival in Chichester, West Sussex.
Our mission is simple. To break down barriers for professional and up-and-coming performers, providing them with free spaces and enabling them to showcase their brilliant work.
We are a volunteer run organisation with the goal to make Chichester a go to place on the Fringe map for new and established artists.
With support from Chichester City Council
Born out of a need
We recognised there wasn't enough encouragement or support for the excellent performers on our doorstep (and beyond!), so we're here to break down barriers and give people a platform.
It's not just on-stage though; Chichester Fringe also gives opportunities for behind-the-scenes roles, including stage management / tech, photography, web design, social media and musical direction.
