Following the end of 2026 on Monday, we’ve been using this week to look at who the big award winners were at this year’s festival, from comedy and theatre shows to awards for accessibility, diversity and inclusivity (shout out to our own access bookings team once more!) 🏆

Of course, some awards are non-genre specific – you can find out who won this year’s gongs on our website 👇

Each year at the Fringe, awards are handed out to shows that have accessibility, diversity and inclusivity at their heart ❤️

The Fringe Society doesn’t hand out any of these awards – we’re impartial, after all! – but we do keep a record of them on our website. Go take a look and see which shows won the top prizes at this year’s festival 👇
