Shirley Fringe launches 3 weeks today, Tuesday the 2nd of September!!!!

Calling all businesses in Shirley & Freemantle, we’d love for you to be part of this cultural event, raising money for a local charity that has a direct impact on our community. A hugely significant part of the fund raising is a mega raffle across all Shirley Fringe Venues. This is where you come in; can you donate a prize? It doesn’t matter how big or small, haircuts, cups of coffee, meals, dog walks, car washes, anything from your suppliers.

Shirley Fringe will document your given prize with a link to your website so that everyone will know how community minded your business is. https://shirleyfringe.co.uk/

If you are in a position to donate a prize, please either message us on Facebook, or email [email protected]

If you can’t donate a prize, we look forward to seeing you at the venues
