The Shirley Fringe

is a community charity event showcasing the talented performing artists that thrive within Shirley and the wider Southampton areas.

Multi-venues in Shirley & Freemantle have come together for the annual event to fundraise for the "No Limits", our chosen charity for 2026.

Throughout the first week of September, from Tuesday 1st to Sunday 6th, a variety of venues will be hosting music, poetry, comedy, circus & dance performances for your entertainment. All we ask is that you make a donation to our chosen charity.

No Limits

offers free information, advice and help to children & young people under the age of 26 in Hampshire.

Whatever the issue, whether it’s around mental health, housing and homelessness, sexual health, substance use, money, or anything else, the No Limits youth workers are available to support, advise and educate young people, helping them to grow in confidence, manage their life and build a brighter future.

Through fundraisers like this and donations like yours No Limits is able to continue its life-changing work - thank you.
