The '''Malvern Fringe Festival'''
==History==
Line 24 ⟶ 26:
The founding aims of the Fringe were to produce a popular, varied programme of events for the local people of Malvern, to bridge the gap between the "us" and "them" in the arts and to "shake it up a bit in Malvern".
The first year featured 60 events consisting of [[poetry]], [[world music]], [[folk music|folk]], [[jazz]], adult and children's theatre performed under the banner of "Associated Events" due to the main Festival's objections to the term 'Fringe', which they considered to be "outside" of the Festival. In 1978, to avoid confusion between the programmes for the two festivals, printed with similar designs at the main festival's insistence, Adrian Mealing hand wrote "Fringe" on over 3000 programmes.<ref name=WorcesterEveningNews27041978/> As the 1980s approached, the festival grew into a four-week event and the Fringe had established its own identity. Being centrally located between [[Hereford]], [[Worcester, England|Worcester]], [[Gloucester]] and [[Cheltenham]] the Fringe drew a wide audiences from over a 20-mile radius.

In 2006 the Fringe re-launched its three-day festival in June, loosely based upon a theme of Elgar's interests. One of the highlights of this festival was a bicycle race (as cycling was one of Elgar's keen interests) up the steep incline of Great Malvern's Church Street. This event was supported by [[Commonwealth games]] gold medalist [[Liam Killeen]], who's from Malvern, and was won by [[Tour de France]] cyclist, Arnaud Lenoir.<ref name=MalvernGazette09062006/> The whole three-day festival was attended by over 5,000 people.<ref name=MalvernGazette08062006/>
