Buxton Festival Fringe is beginning to fill up and more than 60 acts have already signed up.

Fringe Award-winning Smooth Faced Gentlemen will be back with Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus at the Fringe which runs from 8 until 26 July.

Dance duo Colin and Yozy can currently claim the furthest journey as they will be attending the Fringe fresh from a tour of China and Japan.

The 2015 Fringe is also spreading beyond Buxton, with events taking place in New Mills, Crowdecote and Chelmorton.

Fringe chair Keith Savage said, “the whole committee becomes excited at this time of year when we see the programme begin to full up. It’s brilliant to welcome back artists we know well as well as meet fresh new talent.”

The deadline for the last early-entry offer of £70 is 31 March. The final deadline for inclusion in the printed programme is 19 April.

Further information about how to take part can be found at the Buxton Fringe web site.
