The Colchester Fringe was established in 2019 by Cameron Abbott-Betts and Steve Goatman. 

The first festival took place on in October 2021. The aim was to support work by local emerging artists, whilst attracting performance companies to the town from across the U.K and overseas.​

Now every Autumn, we take over a variety of venues within the city centre. Including, theatres, shops, pubs and nightclubs and fill them all with extraordinary artists from all corners of the globe. 

We believe that the Fringe is for everyone. Therefore, we are committed to keeping ticket prices low and promoting under-represented voices, including LGBTQ+, global majority and disabled people within our programme and festival team.

Colchester Fringe are proudly a non-profit festival and any money made will be put towards supporting artists and developing the Fringe for future years.
