ACCESSIBILITY
\nAT THE FRINGE<\/h1>\n

We are committed to being an inclusive festival, where everyone is able to enjoy what we have to offer.<\/p>\n

This is why the Fringe is delighted to be working with our Official Accessibility Partner, Equal Dreams, for the first time in 2021. We hope that through our collaboration, we can make our festival and its related information accessible to as many as possible, including people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Note: This page will be updated as the situation with COVID-19 evolves. We would like to advise users to check back on this page closer to the date of the performances for the most updated changes.<\/p>\n
