Applications for the 2021 Free Festival are still open - with our free Fringe Festival shows running through August this year in a limited number of venues and online.

UPDATE 11/7/21 - Most show slots for our venues are now full, but do contact us for one-off performances or short runs this August. We will start programming for 2022 in late 2021, and will update these pages in the Autumn.

Bear in mind - things are obviously different this year!!

If you were a Fringe performer who was due to perform in 2020, and rolled-over your you can updated your application or show from last year. There is no need to re-apply. Please get in contact with any qusetions, and rolled-over shows should also be getting updates via our mailing list.

Please read the latest 2021 Covid update for where we are, and then through all of these performers pages to see how we operate, what our venues are like and then login to the site to submit an application.

We will be programming shows rolled-over from 2020 before any new applications. So it may take some time to get back to new applications, and this will depend on what spaces we can run, what shows roll-over and what we're expecting the covid restrictions to be. All the lates information will be on our Covid update page.

If you wish to present more than one show, you need to complete a separate application for each show.

If you have performed with the Free Festival previously, or with the Laughing Horse at festivals in Brighton or Adelaide, you will already have a login, and you can use the same login again.
