The
Laughing Horse Free Festival Venues were established in 2004, with the aim of making the
Fringe more accessible and less expensive for performers - and also to provide top quality
shows for Fringe-goers at a bargain price. All of this in professionally run and equipped
venues, and bucking the trend of the larger venues who's prices increase year after year. To
find out why we are doing this and who is involved in organising the Free Festival click here. |
