FemFest Brighton takes place from the 7th to 10th March 2024. FemFest is an antidote to the white-cis-het-male dominated fringe theatre landscape of the UK. The festival takes place over the week of International Women's Day. We are inclusive of all marginalised gender identities including but not limited to: trans women, trans men, trans feminine and masculine people, people who identify as trans, non-binary, genderqueer, gender-fluid, agender, bigender, two-spirit and any other gender non-conforming identities. Trans-exclusionary or gender-critical language and behaviour is not tolerated here. Our founder, Maddie Ross, has worked extensively across Brighton & Edinburgh Fringe since 2016. In 2020, she was uninspired by the lack of female, non-binary and trans involvement in decision-making at fringe festivals. She was (and still is) disappointed by the lack of accessibility and safeguarding for audiences carried out by fringe venues across the industry. Frustrated by the lack of a safe and accessible fringe festival, she decided to set up FemFest. FemFest is Brighton's only fringe arts festival run by and for women, non-binary and trans people. Since its launch in 2020 we have seen FemFest grow exponentially, 2023 has been our biggest year yet, seeing us move to our new home, The Actors. A venue with a long history of championing and centering queer narratives. We held 17 events across our 2023 festival and also launched our Early Career Artist scheme. FemFest hosts multiple art disciplines including cabaret, comedy, theatre, workshops, life drawing and more.
