The Lambeth Fringe is a performing arts festival established in 2015 (formerly The Clapham Fringe) and run by the team behind the award-winning Bread & Roses Theatre. The Lambeth Fringe takes place over 4 weeks in September - October. This growing festival encompasses theatre, comedy, music, workshops, film, cabaret, experimental work, musicals, family shows and more!
In 2024 The Lambeth Fringe expanded across the borough and introduces new venues to the festival offering further opportunities to share work. With a growing network of over 20 venues, we saw over 200 performances in The Lambeth Fringe 2025.
Slots are generally up to 60 minutes and shows take place through the day and evening from 1 night to 1 week runs.
Applications are open to all and we encourage bold and exciting new work, WIP performances, and established artists to apply to the festival. Applications to the festival are free, with an £85 registration fee once slots and venue are confirmed. Most venues with The Lambeth Fringe operate on a box office split.
