Gipsy Hill
We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with the Sofar team for Sofar Fringe 2026. Is there anything better than killer music with tasty pints in outstanding venues? This will be our second partnership with Sofar based in a shared love of quality experiences, celebrating session culture and up and coming talent. Cheers to many more great events together.
OFFICIAL FOOD PARTNER
KERB
KERB is on a mission to be the most impactful hospitality business in the world, bringing handpicked food traders to 83 Rivington Street for Sofar Fringe. Launched as a pop-up market in 2012, KERB now runs iconic food halls internationally and a pioneering social enterprise. In 2019, it opened Seven Dials Market, now home to 20 food businesses serving over 1.5 million visitors a year. In 2023, KERB launched KERB+, providing coaching and mentoring for people from marginalised backgrounds, and has since helped accelerate over 130 independent food businesses. In 2025, KERB expanded further with two new food halls — Corner Corner in London and KERB Berlin, plus its first drinks-led venue: KERB Social Club.
OFFICIAL SOCIAL PLANS PARTNER
HOWBOUT
Howbout is on a mission to get people seeing their friends more. It's a social calendar app: you share your free time, your mates share theirs, and the plans that used to die in a group chat actually happen.
It started with a simple, slightly annoying truth. Everyone wants to see each other more, nobody wants to be the one sending the fifth "so are we doing this or not?" message. So Howbout took the admin out of it. No 40-message chats. No "Omg pls can we see each other soon!". No screenshots of your calendar. Just the bit where you find a night that works and go.
Today, Howbout has been used to create over 200 million plans, from Sunday roasts to summer festivals to one very ambitious Shoreditch pub crawl.
For Sofar Fringe, we're doing what we do best: sorting the before. Get your group on the same page, agree a meeting point, and spend the day discovering 50+ artists instead of discovering that Tom went home.
