We are thrilled to present a riotous smorgasbord of art events brought to you by over 300 local artists, performers and directors. Proudly providing unique opportunity for the exhibition of creative work, the Fringe is a stage upon which anything may happen. New and emerging talent steps up into the limelight alongside established artists in this annual celebration of the regions enviable creative abundance.

We’d like to encourage you to sample the 2011 batch of home-grown spectacles and performances, shows and exhibitions and to experience the potentially transformative qualities of surprising and stimulating works of art. The Hamilton Fringe Festival focuses on encouraging original and explorative expression and we’re confident you’ll find something in our programme to tickle your fancy.
