About

The Lambeth Fringe returns in 2025, marking a decade of championing bold, diverse, and innovative performances. Originally founded as the Clapham Fringe, the festival embarked on an exciting expansion in 2024, broadening its reach across South London. Now in its second year under the Lambeth Fringe banner, the festival continues to grow, bringing an even richer lineup of theatre, comedy, works in progress, cabaret, experimental performances, music, family shows, and more.

At its heart, the festival remains dedicated to inclusivity and accessibility. The Lambeth Fringe amplifies underrepresented voices, providing a platform for women, LGBTQ+, global majority, and working-class artists. The festival empowers creatives to share their work with a wider audience by reducing financial barriers and expanding performance opportunities across multiple venues.

Building on the success of last year’s expansion beyond its founding venue, The Bread & Roses Theatre, The Lambeth Fringe now spans an even greater array of spaces across Lambeth. This growth not only enhances accessibility but also celebrates the borough’s vibrant artistic and cultural heritage.

More than just a festival, The Lambeth Fringe celebrates creativity, community, and connection. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are discovering the festival for the first time, 2025 promises a programme of exciting and affordable performances.
