The movements of celestial bodies have ordained that 2011 has the latest Easter date for 60 years. And it is the first time ever that the theological and beaurocratic forces have aligned to result in the Buxton Fringe deadline falling on Easter Sunday.

For this reason, this Mediterreanly hot Bank Holiday Holy Weekend is a hive of activity at Underground Towers (an undergound tower, aka a hole).

No sunbathing or religious observance for us. We’re currently in the middle of programming some 65-odd shows into 4 spaces for a period of 17 days. But it will all be worth it as this is by far the best collection of shows we’ve had so far.

There’s big name comedians, TV and radio stars, new writing, magic, local music and some interesting collaborations by the Fringe’s favourite regulars.

We’ll be able to confirm our full schedule soon. Don’t remember it all happens from the 6th-24th July at Underground Venues (and our overground space at the Arts Centre) in the centre of Buxton. We hope to see you all there 🙂

Oh yeah – and Happy Easter!
