Could you be a Watford Fringe venue?

Host great comedy, music and performance in 2026

Are you a Watford venue looking for new ways to get punters through your doors? Then why not become a Watford Fringe Festival host.

Planning is already getting underway for the 2026 Fringe – the annual festival in July which supports great local talent to develop and perform their shows and brings high quality performing arts to local audiences to enjoy.

The Fringe will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026. So we need more venues to come on board to host our exciting acts. You earn money as a venue and get tonnes of publicity too. You don’t necessarily need to have a large or traditional performance space to take part as there is a wide range of Fringe acts to fit all sorts of locations. And you’ll be given advice and support on how to run and publicise a Fringe event.
