Application FormCalling all theatre companies, artists and makers who have committed to be a part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026! We are programming a season of Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026 previews at Shakespeare North Playhouse Studio as part of our HEADING NORTH FRINGE FESTIVAL.
The HEADING NORTH FRINGE FESTIVAL is our theatre festival now in its third year, showcasing productions preparing to embark on the world-famous theatre festival the following month. You may have taken work up to Edinburgh before or this year might be your first time – it doesn’t matter – complete our online expression of interest, tell us a bit about your production and you could be selected to part of this exciting new festival of Edinburgh previews!
The Shakespeare North Playhouse HEADING NORTH FRINGE FESTIVAL will take place 18th June – 18th July 2026
In preparation for Edinburgh, performances will be programmed in festival style, alongside multiple productions, working within a standard LX and sound set up, and in Fringe Festival conditions – with a swift turnover between shows. Please bear this in mind when submitting.
