The Lambeth Fringe Festival is marking 10 years of bringing artists in the community together to champion creativity.
The festival – which is also known as Lambeth Fringe – happens yearly in autumn.
It was formerly known as the Clapham Fringe but has since changed due to the popularity and growth of the event.
Lambeth Fringe has been supporting emerging voices, new writers and grassroots creatives.
The event hopes to enlighten the connection between artists, audiences and the place they live and create in, which has helped the festival grow in numbers.

Velenzia Spearpoint and Rebecca Pryle, the festival directors, said: “For local residents, it is a chance to discover something new right on their doorstep for artists, it is an opportunity to perform, experiment, and collaborate and for venues, it is a way to open their doors to new audiences.
“We hope it builds pride, creativity, and a sense of shared ownership across Lambeth.”
The cost of living period could be particularly tricky for new emerging artists navigating into the industry, but Lambeth Fringe organisers are doing as much as they can to help, as well as arranging wellbeing sessions and support if needed.
Spearpoint and Pryle said: “We want to give artists an affordable platform to share their work, especially those from working-class and independent backgrounds who are often priced out of traditional spaces.
“We are also committed to keeping ticket prices low or pay-what-you-can wherever possible, because great art should never be out of reach.”
The festival celebrates every kind of creativity, including theatre, comedy, drag, dance, film, burlesque, poetry, fine art, workshops, and family shows, all under one umbrella.
