The Lambeth Fringe is founded and produced by The Bread & Roses Theatre, an award-winning theatre based in Clapham, South London.
Founded in 2014, we stage entertaining and inspiring productions while also providing transformational opportunities for emerging artists and companies in a creative environment that welcomes everyone.
Each year, the Lambeth Fringe brings bold, original performance and arts to the heart of our community. From experimental theatre and spoken word to live music, dance and visual art, we champion creative voices and fresh perspectives across Lambeth and beyond.
In 2026, we celebrate our 11th year of bringing independent artists and audiences together. Like many independent festivals, we receive no core funding, and this year we have not received Arts Council England funding. The majority of our income comes from ticket sales, and we rely on the support of our community to help keep the Lambeth Fringe thriving.
As a small team with low overheads, your support goes directly into making art happen. Helping us nurture new talent, take creative risks and share work that inspires, challenges and connects.
Whether through a one-off donation or regular support, every contribution helps us continue championing independent artists and keeping the Lambeth Fringe open, ambitious and accessible.
If you're interested in corporate sponsorship opportunities or including your business in our brochure, we’d love to hear from you.
Our small space and growing festival is not only a venue but a creative hub providing more equal opportunities, ethical working conditions and support especially for women, LGBTQ+, global majority and working-class creatives.
