Buxton Festival Fringe 2027
7–25 July 2027
An open-access fringe that has run alongside the Buxton International Festival every July since 1980. A volunteer-run charity organises it but picks no shows, so 150 to 200 entries fill the spa town's churches, pubs, hotels and theatre spaces; 2026, with about 230, was its biggest yet. Stand-up and improv are part of the mix, with comedy rooms at the Underground at Spring Gardens and the Den of Laughs.
