ESTUARY FRINGE FESTIVAL 2023

The Estuary Fringe Festival is back!! A wonderful series of events in one jammed pack week spread across various venues in Southend!

The Estuary Fringe was started back in 2014 with the aim of giving art back to the community, where it belongs! Expect a wide variety of art forms, performances and popups with a dose of “not taking ourselves too seriously”
