FRINGE
Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival Fringe comprises of a variety of venues across the town, hosting live music and entertainment throughout the duration of the festival.
The venues are an integral part of the festival and for many, it’s what makes our festival so popular and unique.
In previous years fringe venues paid towards the running cost of the festival via their registration fee. Middlewich Town Council have waivd the registration fee for the 2022 festival as a gesture to help support the local venues in their revovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The festival organisers Middlewich Town Council do not have any responsibility for agreements/contracts made between artists and venues.
Fringe venues book artists themselves so please contact the venues direct if you are looking to perform there.
They also pay the artist whatever fee has been agreed.
If you are interested in being an Official Folk and Boat Festival Fringe venue please contact Nicola Anthony: deputyclerk@middlewich.org.uk
Official Fringe venues for 2022 will be announced soon.
