We’re looking for artists & creatives to take part in WAF 2025!
Wandsworth Arts Fringe is an open-access festival, which means that no matter who you are or where you come from, everyone is welcome!
Unlike other arts festivals, no-one’s in charge of deciding which shows get to take part. We don't have curators or programmers, and there are no themes or content criteria that artists have to fulfil when registering their show. Anyone with a story to tell and a venue to host them is invited to take part in the wonderful world of WAF.
Filling out an Expression of Interest form is a non-committal way of telling us your plans and letting us know if you need any help or advice.
You are only to committed to being part of WAF once you've confirmed the details of your event and officially paid and registered on our website
Please note: we will be launching a new website ahead of WAF2025 registrations opening in December.

There are loads of ways to get involved - host your own activity or be a venue for someone else, team up with a local artist or devise your own creative showcase… whatever you want to do, we want to hear from parents, teachers, pupils, community organisers or anyone a creative idea!
