Ventnor Fringe celebrates all art forms, supporting both emerging and established performers to connect with live audiences. Inspired by the world-famous Edinburgh festivals, it offers a more personal and intimate experience while hosting over 100 ticketed shows annually, alongside free busking opportunities.

Ventnor Fringe will run from Friday 18th to Sunday 27th July 2025, transforming Ventnor into a vibrant hub of creativity and culture.

Artists who wish to participate in ticketed shows need to register by Monday 31st March 2025.

Get in touch with the team
The festival team is available to answer any questions and provide guidance. Artists can reach out via phone, email, or schedule a 30-minute “surgery” call to discuss their ideas in more detail before completing their registration.
