Watford Fringe Festival
Unforgettable live performances
2025 was a record-breaking Watford Fringe Festival
We enjoyed an extraordinary live line-up of great theatre, music, comedy, dance, art, cabaret and family fun-filled shows. We had everything from pre-Edinburgh Fringe shows to a band hot off their set at Glastonbury, a musician who appeared on the recent series of Channel Four’s The Piano, the man who ‘discovered’ Wham!, the best in local talent and even live pro-wrestling!
