Line-up, news and updates for the Freerange Brighton Fringe Festival

When: 31 April – 23 May 2010
Where: St Peters Garden, London Road, Brighton, BN1 4GU
How much: Free to £18.50 depending on the event
Another newcomer to the breed of all-inclusive festivals and gallantly scheduled in the spring for three weeks, is the Freerange Brighton Fringe Festival. Boasting an experience far from battery entertainment, the producers of Glastonbury’s Shangri-La Fields, the infamous Bassline Circus and StokeFest have conjured up the best comedy, circus, variety, music, magic and cabaret that they can get their hands on.
The “freerange” tag and time-span underpin the festival's concept of crowds that can roam free rather than being herded from one act to the next, and the scope of performers means there’s more choice than you can shake a hen at.
