Do I need to buy tickets for performances in Market Harborough's Arts Fresco?

No! All the performances happen in and around the centre of Market Harborough, with the performers mingling with the crowds. All you need to do is walk to the town centre (it's easy - just follow the crowds!) and keep your eyes peeled for anything unusual....

Is there a programme? Where can I get one?

There isn't a programme as such, although there will be a rough timetable of performances available on the day. As Arts Fresco is a street theatre festival, it's possible for performances, of one style or another, popping up at any time, any place. We've compiled a helpful guide to planning your visit, and an Event Map for you to use during the day.

Can I buy Arts Fresco merchandise?

Not yet. All our funds go towards providing the best possible show we can, which doesn't leave enough to put together Arts Fresco branded merchandise. We would love to introduce a range, and if we do, it would be available to buy on the day as well as through this website.
