The 15th Ventnor Fringe Festival starts today (Friday, July 19).
The event offers more than 150 shows across multiple venues in the town of Ventnor, which is now more accessible due to Leeson Road re-opening this week.
There is Free Fringe, children's activities and everything from circus to Shakespeare.
Many events are ticketed but a wander round the town and Ventnor Park will uncover some hidden delights.
