Welcome to Wandsworth Arts Fringe
WAF is taking a moment to reflect…
As part of the LBOC Legacy review process Wandsworth Arts Fringe will not take place in June 2026.
Instead, we are developing an alternative creative offer for 2026, shaped by what we have learned and by the needs and ambitions of our local arts community, with further developments planned for 2027 and beyond. We are currently reviewing feedback and evaluation data from artists, audiences, and partners to ensure that future editions of the festival continue to meet the needs of our creative community. This period of reflection is vital, not only to celebrate what has been achieved, but to listen, learn, and evolve.
Our aim is to build on the momentum of LBOC, ensuring that WAF remains a flagship event that delivers lasting public benefit to our artists and communities. We thank you for your patience whilst we take a momentary pause and we will be in touch soon to share our future vision.
