Sheffield Fringe
A city Fringe for steel-city rooms, new shows, local audiences, and performers heading into summer.
A Festival Across Sheffield
Sheffield Fringe opens 23 July 2027. For ten summer days, Sheffield venues can open rooms to comedy, theatre, music, cabaret, spoken word, family shows, and late-night work that deserves a local audience.
For audiences
Build your own Fringe week, save the shows you like, and hear first when new nights are announced.
Get UpdatesFor acts

Find SlotsFor venues
Turn your room into part of the festival and put exciting shows in front of the people already nearby.
Open Your RoomFind Your Fringe
Start with one show, then let the night open out. Follow a venue, chase a genre, catch something before dinner, or take a chance on a room you have never been in before.
Make a shortlist
Comedy, theatre, music, cabaret, spoken word, family shows, and the strange little things that make a fringe feel alive.
Move through Sheffield
Hop between pubs, clubs, studios, theatres, cafes, and hidden rooms with something new starting all evening.
Get in quickly
Buy ahead, scan at the venue, or grab a last-minute ticket when the screen tells you something brilliant is about to start.
Follow the buzz
Hear when fresh shows are added, extra dates appear, and the one everyone is talking about gets another slot.
Turn Footfall Into Tickets
People are already at the bar. Put tonight's shows on the screen, let them scan or tap, and sell the next room while the night is still moving.
- Your screen becomes a live prompt for the room, beer garden, or queue.
- QR booking and tap-to-pay turn impulse interest into paid seats.
- The same listing is ready on the website, on the venue screen, and at the door.
