After it's first successful year the Glastonbury Fringe returns to take place over 11 days from Friday 21st June until Monday 1st July. The event hopes to include music, theatre, dance and visual arts in a series of independently produced events and workshops it will take place in venues throughout Glastonbury town.
The size and scope of the Fringe has exceeded all expectations in 2012, "We originally were thinking about a small-scale programme over a few days, with perhaps three or four events per night," says Sara Clay, one of the organisers. "The idea was simply to demonstrate the benefits of joining up individual creative efforts under one banner to publicise the town. We never expected it to grow this big so quickly - it really is Glastonbury magic!"
There will be more information here when available.
