Thank you to everyone who took part, came to shows, offered venues or supported us in any other way. We're going to have a big rest now, before planning Durham Free Fringe 2026.

Chris Neville-Smith @cns-theatre.bsky.social brings DOCTOR COPPELIUS to Durham Free Fringe.
Coppelia is a mechanical doll, whose creator tried to bring her to life by stealing the life of an innocent man. Now the tragic villain from Delibes' ballet gives his side of the story.

Our next announced act: CAITRIONA DOWDEN: DANCE LIKE EVERYONE'S DANCING.
Caitriona spends most of her time worrying about the future and studying our medieval past. Can she learn to live in the moment? A feel-good show about apocalyptic dread (and the 1518 dancing plague).

And we are pleased to announce our second venue: THE STATION HOUSE.
Located at the bottom of the road up to the railway station (and with its own dot matrix display if you're catching a train) this is also host to many events, from board games to folk music and a lot in between.
