Events at this year's Tunbridge Wells Fringe Festival start on Saturday 28th June.
Local artists from a range of styles including opera, cabaret, comedy, dance, theatre, film and visual art are all taking part.
The Fringe involves 140 artists appearing in 35 venues. Events run until Sunday 13th July.
Our reporter Mary Whitlock spoke to three of the organisers: Debbie King, Max Clark and David Jackson. Listen here:
Debbie King told us: "We are an open access festival so anyone can get involved. There's a really lovely variety for absolutely everyone. We are in cafes, pubs and the Rotunda is up from Brighton and based in Langton Green."
Debbie started the Fringe five years ago during covid lockdown - at a time when the arts were having a very hard time.
Debbie continues: "The ticket prices are very accessible. We go from free access to about £15 a ticket. It really is a community event, run by the community for the community."
There's an opening event at Dunorlan Park on 28th June with lots of acts showcasing their performances.
Among the events, Sprinkle of Stardust returns to Tunbridge Wells Fringe.
Meanwhile there is also a free opening event on 28th June at 2.30pm at the Pantiles Bandstand featuring the Rock Choir (pictured below).
Inspired by Ellen's Stardust Diner in New York City, talented singers will perform musical theatre favourites while you dine, featuring classics from across the years, including Wicked, Jekyll and Hyde, My Fair Lady, Fame and many more.
Price is £15 (concessions £10) and suitable for 8 years and over. On July 10th at 7.00pm at Old Auction House.
