Wandsworth Heritage Festival

Wandsworth’s annual festival is back for 2025, featuring a wide variety of talks, walking tours, workshops, and exhibitions (many of them free) celebrating the vibrant south London borough’s parks, museums and cultural spaces. The the theme for 2025 is ‘Wandsworth and the Arts’, with an extra-long four-week edition to mark Wandsworth’s year as London Borough of Culture. Highlights include a free talk about Oscar Wilde’s time in Wandsworth Prison, held at the prison; an exhibition on the origins of Cromwell, held at Putney Library and hosted by the Head of Collections at the National Archives; and a walking tour based all around the medical history of Nightingale Lane. Many events are free to join, and some are very family-friendly. Check out the full programme of events on the website.
