Faversham Fringe is a performing arts festival taking place in Faversham, Kent. 2020 was to have been the 5th festival, but sadly the pandemic meant that it was cancelled. Fringe came back in 2021 with a pared-down version – Faversham Fringe-lite – and October 2022 marks a full return for the sixth year.
