Hamilton's Fringe Festival is back to liven up the city in a 10-day frenzy of creative expression.
Festival co-ordinator Jo Williams, 34, said Hamilton Fringe is all about celebrating the eclectic.
"It's probably the festival in Hamilton with the most inclusive range of arts - we do visual, performance, theatre. Nothing is left out."
This is the first time Hamilton Fringe is being run under the independent Hamilton Fringe Trust, set up in August last year.
"Our focus is still on works which are original," said Jo.
