Celebrate SFF2026 after dark with art, music and good vibes at the Glynn Vivian’s launch party.

The Swansea Fringe starts here!

Join us at the Glynn Vivian for the Fringe Launch Party, a free entry evening celebrating everything that makes Swansea’s creative scene tick.

Doors open at 5:30pm, and from the moment you step inside there’s something to discover.

Live music will fill the gallery, spoken word artists will take the mic, and exhibition tours will take you behind the work on show.

Experience the creative industries fair to meet the makers, designers, performers and organisations shaping the city’s cultural future. Whether you’re after collaborators, inspiration or simply a great night out, this is the place to begin.

It’s also the best way to get a first look at what’s coming this year, find your must-see events and meet the people behind them.

Come for an hour or stay until the close. Everyone is welcome.

No need to book a ticket, but it helps us gauge how many of you might be joining us for the evening.
