What the charity does
We put on about 6000 performances of about 400 shows free of all charges to performers and public at the Edinburgh Fringe, thus enabling access to this world-famous event for performers and public, without the otherwise high cost of participation. This develops our performers' competences in the performing arts and makes those arts accessible to the citizens of Edinburgh and to visitors to that city. We negotiate performance spaces free of charge to us: the spaces get the refreshment sale profits. We select and programme the shows from those who apply to us, usually at least twice as many…

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. PBH's Free Fringe is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
