Are Children allowed at Swansea fringe events?
We get asked this often, it varies from event to event and venue to venue. Different venues have different rules, most of them are child friendly during daytime hours, but may be less appropriate the later it gets, our advice is to check with the individual venue as to what their policy is

What is the festival like for wheelchair / disabled access?
Most venues are very wheelchair / disabled friendly, however there are some – such as Ty Tawe or hangar 18 – that do involve stairs, if you think this may be an issue we’d advise you to get in touch or check with the venue and we’re sure they’ll do their best to help you, as will we

Are dogs allowed?
Again as it’s a multi venue festival its best to check with the individual venue once you have a particular event in mind, several venues are definitely dog friendly, although this may not extend through to night time events when they’re more busy

What time do events start / finish ?
This obviously varies depending on the day, but the earliest events start at about midday on the Saturday with Thursday and Friday being evening only, most of the evening events finish by about 11 pm but some venues have DJ’s and club nights on till late so you can carry on partying in to the wee small hours.

Does the festival cater for Welsh language music?
Yes! Whilst we aren’t all Welsh speakers, we’re very proud of our Welsh heritage, thanks to the team a Menter iaith Abertawe we have a great selection of Welsh language artists spread over the festival, some mixed in with English language artists and some on entirely Welsh language stages, see the line up pages for details.

I want to stay for the whole weekend, where’s good?
There’s a couple of reasonably priced hotels around the city center and a couple of hostels if your budget is a bit tighter

I’d like to volunteer at the fringe how do I make this happen?
We welcome all volunteers, we have a good core group of experienced volunteers but we could always do with more, after all, many hands make light work. You get a free weekend ticket for volunteering and there’s many different roles we could use you in, from technical volunteers helping with audio and lighting to simply sitting on doors and taking payments / checking wristbands.
