Bowden Fringe 2026 at Plant 4 is back and it's bigger, better, and more exciting than ever! We couldn’t be prouder to bring this vibrant program to life.

​

Programmed and produced by award-winning performer Michelle Pearson, and proudly supported by the City of Charles Sturt, we’re thrilled to present an incredible lineup of shows.

​

The Bowden Fringe at Plant 4 will run throughout the Fringe season, from Friday 20th February to Sunday 22nd March.

This year, 24 artists from across the globe will take to the stage, delivering award-winning cabaret, music and comedy. And stay tuned because our Taste of Bowden cooking class series will be announced very soon!

​​

Plant 4 will be buzzing with Bowden Fringe shows and plenty of delicious food and drinks to match 🍺

Bowden Fringe shows will run on:

• Tuesday nights • Thursday nights • Saturday nights • Sunday nights • Selected late-night Friday shows • Monday 9 March (public holiday)

For early shows kicking off at 3.30pm, we recommend arriving at least an hour beforehand to enjoy our fantastic range of permanent in-house eateries. Please note: our indoor eateries close at 3pm, as they won’t be operating while shows are performing inside. For shows from 3.30pm onwards, we’ll have a lineup of outdoor pop-up food stalls ready to feed you, including:

• Ocean inn • Ozzie Gözleme • Wild Woodfired Pizza • Gelato Bello The Plant 4 Bar will be open before and after all shows, plus we’ll have an outdoor pop-up bar operating during performances with our friends at Forage Supply Co🍷

Come for the show, stay for the food, and support the incredible vendors helping make this Bowden Fringe season one to remember.
