So you want to take part?

Do you run a venue? Want to host your own Bedfringe event?

With Bedford being central for business and living, Bedfringe offers you the perfect opportunity to:

      • Promote yourself, your organisation and/or your venue.
      • Raise the profile of your organisation/venue.
      • Demonstrate support for Bedfordshire’s largest performing arts festival that participates and contributes to its success.

    When?

    As directors of the festival we are running our performances on 30th and 31st July so these festival dates are effectively not available. We propose available dates would therefore be 24th through to 29th July.

    Our commitment to you:

      • To give you an opportunity to be associated with Bedford’s largest performing arts festival, exposing yourself to a whole new audience base.
      • Entry into the Bedfringe festival brochure which has a distribution of 10,000 + Your Bedfringe event(s) published on the festival website (over 7,500 hits per year). DEADLINE 29th MARCH
      • Your Bedfringe event(s) listed in the Bedfringe programme published in the Bedford Corn Exchange summer brochure. This document has a distribution of 12,000. DEADLINE 4th FEB
      • Editorial coverage in the Beds On Sunday and interview opportunities at BBC 3 Counties Radio.
      • Free entry (if seats available) into all Bedfringe events.

    Your commitment to us:

    • To host an event (or events!) of a 'professional' standard which could include theatre, comedy, dance, music, an exhibition, film, poetry or street theatre.
    • You will organise and manage your own venue/event location including staffing, insurance, box office sales, bookings & artist contracts. Note: Bedfringe does not take a cut from your box office takings. Bedfringe will require you to sell an allocation of 50%+ of your event tickets through the Bedford Central Box Office.
    • You will need to supply Bedfringe with high resolution image(s) and detailed copy for your event(s) ready to be published into the festival brochure and website before the stated deadline.

    Festival Dates

    The festival currently runs from 30th to 31st July, 2010.
    Availability is at the top of this page.

    Entry Fees

    An entry (half page per event) into our brochure & website will cost £200. Please contact us for more details. Remember, you keep your box office takings so a sell out event in a 70 seat venue at £8 per ticket will cover this even with a 40% cut of the door.

    Sponsorship

    Bedfringe will have an agreement with a local business which will allow Bedfringe event ticket holders to enjoy discounts at their establishment. As a Bedfringe venue selling tickets through the Bedford Central Box Office, we ask you to accommodate this sponsorship agreement.
