A Festival Across Manchester

Manchester Fringe is collecting registrations of interest. Greater Manchester Fringe is already established, so this page is a demand register for future partner activity, touring shows, audience updates, and possible local opportunities.

For audiences

Build your own Fringe week, save the shows you like, and hear first when new nights are announced.

Get Updates

For acts

Bring the show you want people to discover: work-in-progress, polished hour, wild idea, or late-night gem.

Find Slots

For venues

Turn your room into part of the festival and put exciting shows in front of the people already nearby.

Open Your Room

Find Your Fringe

Start with one show, then let the night open out. Follow a venue, chase a genre, catch something before dinner, or take a chance on a room you have never been in before.

Plan

Make a shortlist

Comedy, theatre, music, cabaret, spoken word, family shows, and the strange little things that make a fringe feel alive.

Explore

Move through Manchester

Hop between pubs, clubs, studios, theatres, cafes, and hidden rooms with something new starting all evening.

Book

Get in quickly

Buy ahead, scan at the venue, or grab a last-minute ticket when the screen tells you something brilliant is about to start.

Return

Follow the buzz

Hear when fresh shows are added, extra dates appear, and the one everyone is talking about gets another slot.

Turn Footfall Into Tickets

People are already at the bar. Put tonight's shows on the screen, let them scan or tap, and sell the next room while the night is still moving.

  • Your screen becomes a live prompt for the room, beer garden, or queue.
  • QR booking and tap-to-pay turn impulse interest into paid seats.
  • The same listing is ready on the website, on the venue screen, and at the door.
