Tomek Borkowy's venues, flying under the flag of Universal Arts, have always featured international work. Indeed, 2008 was the nineteenth consecutive year in which his organisation has programmed what he describes as a ‘high-class cultural journey across the world’." - The Herald
If you are interested in one of our spaces call our office on (+44 131) 478 0195 to check availability. We can arrange for you to see venues but remember that during the year it has a different function and will not look like a theatre. You cannot view venues without an appointment so please call well in advance of your visit.

The Fringe Society is an administrative organisation which co-ordinates the Fringe. The Society advises on all aspects of performing at the Fringe. It publicises the Fringe primarily through the production and distribution of the free Fringe programme and Daily Diary of events. It sells tickets for all Fringe shows.
As a matter of policy we urge all our visiting companies to register with the Fringe and take out their own Fringe Programme entry. In 2008 the final programme entry date was Monday 31st March 2008. A substantial early payment discount was available and the deadline was Wednesday 16th April 2008. Entry deadlines for 2009 have not yet been confirmed but it is likely that the early discount deadline will be earlier in the year than in 2008.

Unless a group is paying 100% of all fees and guarantees in advance we ask that all Fringe Box Office receipts be passed directly to us. The Fringe will deduct a box office commission of 6% + VAT on these monies. We will then pass the box office to you less any charges or splits due to us.
Any groups coming to the Fringe from abroad are liable for a tax of up to 22% of all monies paid to them. If you can provide a budget for the Inland Revenue of your expenses proving that you will earn less, after expenses, than £1,000 then no tax is due. However unless this has been done we are bound by law to withhold 22% of your total receipts. Write directly to Foreign Entertainers Unit, 2nd Floor, Royal House, Prince’s Gate Buildings, 2-6 Homer Rd, Solihull, B91 3WG. Telephone 0121 606 2861/2/3.
Any music you wish to use that is subject to rights incurs a levy.
A percentage will be deducted from your total box office sales (fringe and venue box office sales) and sent to PRS by the Fringe Society.
You are responsible for providing insurance for public liability, company members and equipment as well as damage to any of the venue’s equipment. We may be forced to refuse to store equipment, instruments, props, etc if the company does not carry adequate insurance cover. |
