Wandsworth Arts Festival and Fringe 2013

More than 40 widely varied events make up this community festival taking place in various sites around the borough, including Wandle Triangle, Battersea Park's Pump House Gallery, and a new festival hub at an underused public space near the River Wandle. Highlights include regular events in the Brickbox (www.thebrickbox.co.uk/whats-on.html), which will be free apart from Saturday nights, when entry is £5 for acts including the local poetry collective Dirty Hands. The Shimmy (1pm, May 19), is a day-long event in which a whole host of artists and organisations offer performances, installations, spoken word recitals and sculptures along the riverside between Putney Bridge and Wandsworth Park, plus there are pop-up performances and unexpected installations in the Fire Garden Magic, taking place throughout the festival at Roehampton's Alton Estate.
