We've worked so hard this year, but had great results! It feels great to be supporting fringe theatre so extensively and at grass roots level where others fear to tread!!
We've had an incredible year again. Most reviews ever, and greatest number of visitors to the website. We're going to do some full stats as soon as the year ends, but for now, here's something to celebrate our record breaking number of reviews for 2024. #theatre #fringe #review
