Did you notice lots of frantic people running about Chesham over 22-24 May wearing these t-shirts?

They were our Fringe Makers, and the Chesham Fringe Festival wouldn't have happened without them and they were all volunteers.

So we want to share a huge ✨ THANK YOU ✨ to our incredible Fringe Maker team!

From our venue managers keeping everything running smoothly, to our ticket takers welcoming every guest with a smile, bucket collectors rattling to support the artists, our tech team working so hard behind the scenes, and our brilliant photographers and videographer capturing the moments. You were all the heartbeat of Chesham Fringe Festival.

You gave your time, your energy and your enthusiasm, and we are very lucky to have you in our corner.

Thank you, fabulous Fringe Makers, you bunch of absolute total legends, for helping keep it all together 💜 See you next year?! 🤞

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to this year’s Chesham Fringe Festival and helped make it such a fantastic celebration of live performance, creativity and community spirit.

The sun shone and the town was absolutely buzzing!

Whether you joined us for music, comedy, theatre, cabaret, spoken word, family shows or simply soaked up the atmosphere, we are so grateful for your support.

This was the festival's third year so still a fledgling event with room to grow, so we're asking anyone who attended to spare five minutes to let us know what you liked, didn't like, what worked well for you and not so well.

We hope you discovered something new, enjoyed memorable performances and made some wonderful May Bank Holiday memories with us. Let us know!

Amazing to have had DIRT BOX DISCO bring a bit of punk to Chesham for Fringe fun this year! 💥

WHAT A FILTHY HOT WEEKEND WE'VE HAD! Massive thanks to Chesham Fringe Festival for putting us on on Saturday, and thank you to the fine folk that came to see us, EXTRA BIG thanks to Breaking Bands Festival for putting up with us on Sunday! fabulous festival! well organized and great crew! just to set the record straight, we ended slightly early due to the environment agency and the powers that be getting complaints, people could hear every word 2 miles down the road (the sound was that good) 🤷
Its a new location for the festival so they didn't know there would be such issues when booking us, credit to the organizers for keeping the show on the road as long as they did ❤
see you next time! 💋
