Wandsworth Arts Fringe continues

And to make sure everyone can join in the fun, there are loads of free activities and events, including fun things for families to do together, with tickets for all live performances from free to £20.

Councillor Kemi Akinola, Wandsworth Council’s Deputy Leader and cabinet member for the voluntary sector, business engagement and culture said: “Launched in 2009, WAF now attracts close to 20,000 people every year to Wandsworth’s streets, parks, and venues with its exciting and eclectic line-ups. Community-minded at heart, but always with big aspirations, WAF is a unique melting pot of creativity from both local and international artists.”

Week two highlights include:

Explore the borough with the Art and Architecture Walking Tour of Battersea and A Wandle Wonder Wander, exploring the river using mixed-reality.

Theatre for children includes faraway ancient adventure Queen of the East in The Arches at St Mary’s Church, Putney and The Jungle Book and Meg and the Magic Toyshop at multiple venues.
