Hello and welcome

to the Fringe Theatre Awards.

The majority of people working in the fringe do so for the love of theatre. The FTA exists to recognise their talent, dedication and creativity, and to reward outstanding achievements in live fringe theatre productions.

We seek to identify and celebrate the people who make outstanding fringe theatre through nominations, finalists and then winners at an annual awards ceremony.

Make your voice heard

Our expert assessors will choose the best shows, performers and directors, but the People’s Vote award is up to you.

The four awards are for the venues that are most highly recommended for Food and Drink, Most Welcoming, Facilities and Accessibility.

If you’ve recently visited a theatre that you feel is outstanding in any of these categories, vote for them.
