New registrations for 2009 have now closed, EXCEPT for street/circus performers. Please try again next year!

Registered performers can visit the private performers’ area.

Street/circus performers

“Oxfringe Outside” is happening at Oxford Castle on Saturday 4 April from 10am to 4pm.  We will have local musicians, choirs and bands, a circus skills workshop, stilt walkers as well as show previews and market stalls. Oxford Castle is a great family attraction with Oxford Caste Unlocked Museum, the O3 art gallery and restaurants and cafes around the market square.

We are looking for street performers to join us for this event and  we can offer travel expenses plus a changing room and secure storage for the right acts to help us create an exciting day.  If you have an outdoor act you would like to bring to Oxford, please register your interest with the form below, so we can check if your show fits the bill.  Please register soon as we have limited pitches.”

Oxfringe 2009 welcomes performers from anywhere, and now’s the time to make contact to discuss your ideas with us. Performer registration has the following five stages:

1. Sign up

2. Agree venue

The Oxfringe organisers will then consider your application and discuss any details with you. We will then suggest a suitable venue for your show and provide you with a contact person who is overseeing Oxfringe events in your genre. (Note: theatre performers can download our quick guide here.)

3. Confirm venue

You must then secure your booking and enter into a contract with the venue as required, agree venue charges or pay the venue hire fee, and sort out other details related to your booking.

4. Complete registration

You will then need to register specific details for the show itself through this site, and pay a one-off registration fee. This will give you:

• a listing in our printed brochure, with 30,000 copies distributed across Oxfordshire and beyond
• a listing in the online version of the programme at this website
• listings on other websites which we partner with
• the possibility of media coverage through our launch event, links with media organisations and local reviewers, and through Oxfringe press releases.

The fee is either:

• £48 for a one-night show
• £68 for a single show that runs on two or more nights.

At this stage you will need to provide confirmed show title, dates, performance times, ticket prices and a 50-word brochure entry. You will provide the information through this website and be given access to a dedicated performers’ area, which will include useful resources.

5. Market your show

You will be responsible for promoting your show over and above the service that Oxfringe offers listed above. There will be opportunities for you to secure a premium listing in the Oxfringe programme or take out a display ad for a reduced rate.
