Saturday daytime in Kingston Parade:

Bath Fringe’s Street Performance weekend kicks off with the Saturday crowds and a selection of experienced and emerging street performance artists tacking the city centre. This year’s event has received a Lottery grant from Arts Council England to ensure that we successfully support the new artists and guarantee the quality of our headline acts. See below for our acts and performers…

Saturday evening in Green Park Station:

After a busy day on the streets of Bath what we all need is a bit of a party. Highlight shows from some of this afternoon’s key performers, a work-in-progress from the legendary Avanti, Indian Brass madness from the very watchable Rajasthan Heritage crew, then on into the night with Indian-into-Worldbeat DJ Desi Heights inside the Brasserie.

Sunday daytime in Kingsmead Square and Sawclose:

It’s the street theatre event of the year with dozens of performers from the emerging new ideas through to renowned companies at the top of their game. Companies include: Dynamogene (France), Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band (India), Bongo Bolero (Bath), Natural Theatre Company, Avanti Display – and many more. The event is free but please put money ‘in the hat’ if the performer is using one. See below for full details of our acts and performers…
