Plant 4 Bowden
Plant 4 Bowden, 5 Third St, Bowden, Kaurna
The Bowden Fringe is a grassroots Adelaide Fringe hub created by artists, for artists, and founded by multi-award-winning producer and performer Michelle Pearson, who continues to manage the program today alongside a small team.
Just seven minutes from Adelaide’s CBD, the hub is based at Plant 4 Bowden and programs an eclectic mix of music, cabaret, comedy, cooking and food, visual arts and family/children’s events in a welcoming, accessible setting.
Audiences love the wide range of food and beverages offered by Plant 4 traders, the comfort of real bathrooms (no porta-loos), air conditioning and the thoughtful accessibility provisions that make everyone feel included and comfortable.
With ample public transport options servicing the hub, Bowden Fringe has become a vibrant gathering place where artists are supported to share their work and audiences discover new talent in an intimate neighbourhood atmosphere.
