CALLING ALL YOUNG PERFORMERS !

​​​​

​​​As part of the run up to Cowes Fringe, we’re hosting a Youth Open Mic Afternoon at East Cowes Town Hall on 1st March 2026 — and we’re looking for talented young performers!

​

​This fun, supportive daytime event (final timings TBC) is open to ages 5–18, welcoming musicians, singers, bands, comedians, and all kinds of performers. It’s a great chance for young people to showcase their skills, gain stage experience, and get involved in the Fringe community.  

 

Judging our young performers are two local legends—Rob da Bank and DJ JAMRoKi. You’ll be in for a great afternoon!

​

​One standout performer from the afternoon will be offered the chance to appear in the main Cowes Fringe programme at the East Cowes Town Hall — on Saturday 23rd May (times TBC). 

​

​We will aim to finalise participation by the end of January, so get in touch soon!

​​

​Refreshments will include soft drinks, hot drinks, and sweets. As this is a children’s event, no alcohol will be served.
