BRIGHTON FRINGE exceeds expectations by very first week as audiences flood to the seaside

It’s only been running for a week yet Brighton Fringe has smashed through its box office target for the entire festival, selling over 40,000 tickets so far with sales in excess of £300,000.

Brighton Fringe has worked to ensure that the most weird, wild and wonderful shows from around the world still have a home at England’s largest arts festival - from comedy to circus, from drama to children’s shows. There are still 517 in-person and digital events at 90 venues to enjoy.

Brighton Fringe CEO Julian Caddy said: “The enthusiasm has been overwhelming and the scale  of the sales has taken us all by surprise. I’d like to thank everyone involved at Brighton Fringe for  their incredibly hard work in getting everything together and also of course our audiences for having  faith in us that we can deliver live performance safely, whilst also offering a massive selection of  online work as well. There are still 5 weeks left of Brighton Fringe activity though so make sure you  enjoy it while you can!”
