Show registration for the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe is currently closed for programme production and will re-open on Monday 29 May.

To register, you need to have a confirmed contract with your venue in place. Your venue will let you know if you should register with us directly, or through their own channels.

We've produced some resources to assist you with the registration process:

If you have any questions relating to show registration, you can email our Registration team on .

As part of the process the Fringe Society team will proof your show information, for consistency and fairness we use the Fringe style guide to do this: 

Key programme deadlines

There are two main deadlines for having your show listing included in the Fringe programme.

  • The early-bird discount deadline is 17:00 BST on Wednesday 08 March 2023.
  • The final deadline for inclusion in the print programme is 17:00 BST on Wednesday 05 April 2023.

After the printed programme deadline, registration will close while the team proof all registered shows for the final document, and will re-open for web-only listings from Monday 29 May. At this point shows can be listed on the website within 10 working days of approving their show proof, beginning from early June.

On-sale and sign-off deadlines

Once you have registered your show and signed off your listing for inclusion in the Fringe programme, it can be listed online and, if ticketed, go on sale. This can happen on one of three on-sale dates ahead of programme launch:

  Company sign-off date On-sale date
On-sale 1 Monday 06 February Thursday 16 February
On-sale 2 Monday 20 March Thursday 30 March
On-sale 3 Tuesday 18 April Thursday 11 May


Programme launch:          Thursday 08 June 2023

Please note:

  • Once you complete the registration process, it can take up to 10 working days for our team to get back to you with a proof of your show listing for you to sign off.
  • If you want to be included in a specific on-sale, we recommended registering at least 10 days before the sign-off date.
  • If you register on a sign-off date, you will not be included in the very next on-sale date.
