Yes that’s right, it seems, like Mark Twain, the report of our death was an exaggeration.

Due to generous help of the constantly delayed building works at the Crescent, the wonderful cellars of the Old Hall Hotel that Underground has called home since 2006 will live another day.

This means Underground Venues will be returning, with a full programme of events, at the 2014 Buxton Fringe. Continuing our work over the last 8 years of bringing the finest local and national Fringe talent to Buxton in July.

Audiences can expect another bursting programme of hand-picked stand-up, new writing, classic theatre, music, magic, comedy and kids shows from 9-27 July 2014.

Potential acts can apply to be part of it from January 2014, when application information will be available on the website.

We also involved in creating and shaping the new Oxford Fringe. More on that later.
