FREEDOM SEASON 2019 Brighton Fringe is an open access arts festival, meaning anyone can take part. Our mission is to bring artists and audiences together and act as a catalyst for creativity. We know that accessing the arts can be more complicated for D/deaf, disabled and neuro-diverse audiences, so in 2018 we created our first Freedom Season.

What is the Freedom Season? The Freedom Season is a programme of more than 150 events that are accessible to a range of audiences with particular access needs, including those with visible and disabilities. 3 MAY - invisible 2 JUNE 2019 The season also showcases and supports the work of BRIGHTONFRINGE.ORG/FREEDOM-SEASON D/deaf, disabled and neuro-diverse artists.
