Covid safety
Covid isn’t over. In solidarity with our higher-risk siblings and to keep each other safe, volunteers at Fringe! will be encouraged to mask and to undertake regular Covid testing prior to events. We ask that if you feel unwell, or have Covid, cold or flu like symptoms you do not attend.
Quiet space
On Friday 20, Saturday 21 and Sunday 22, a Chill Out Space will be available in The Lab at Rich Mix, open from 10am. Expect ambient lighting, cosy seating and water available for anyone wanting to take a break in a calm environment.
