Summer Sundae Fringe Festival

last updated: Tue 8th Mar 2016

Started in 2006 as an event in its own right before the Summer Sundae Weekender held at De Montfort Hall, Leicester. As well as the usual shows on the Thursday night before the main festival, the Fringe event offers a programme of events in the run up to the main festival that will showcase music and arts from Leicester.

Local promoters and venues organise most of the events for the Fringe. The Fringe includes live events, exhibitions, open studio, and other creative performances that feature musicians and artists from Leicester. The Fringe organisers hold the final night which takes place around various venues in the city on the Thursday before the Summer Sundae Weekender begins.

The Fringe Thursday events are run to raise funds annually for LOROS, the Leicestershire Hospice Charity.

Organisers announced there would be no more Summer Sundae Fringe Festival in 2011, and the event was superseded by Leicester Fringe Festival. For information on the Leicester Fringe Festival, click here.
