Fringe Arts Bath is gearing up for its opening ‘party night’ this Friday, May 23rd – with events across Walcot Chapel, 44 AD artspace and the Old Post Office, which will hopefully be the future home of the city’s new Fashion Museum.
By the way, as an unfunded, volunteer-run festival, the organisers say they welcome support to keep FaB thriving.
To get involved or sponsor, contact them via : info@fringeartsbath.co.uk.
