WAF 2021 was London's first hybrid live and digital arts festival, with over 10,000 people coming to live events from across London, and over 3000 people at home, joining the party to enjoy the genre-bending programme of 130 events that took place live and online from 25 June - 10 July 2021.

"Well done for bringing an arts festival to the community in difficult circumstances. The enthusiasm of the performers to be giving a live show for the first time in many months was really quite heart-warming, and made me feel really pleased that made the effort to come." - Audience member

In 2022, WAF hopes to bring back even more live events, and celebrate the Wandsworth community in its pubs, venues, parks and streets once more, as well as continuing to ensure those at home can enjoy digital projects with the WAF In Your Living Room programme.
