Great day for start of Fringe 13

After days of unpredictable weather, things look set fair for the start of the 13th Wanstead Fringe – three weeks of theatre, music, comedy, authors, tours and more.

While programmes are being distributed, tickets for all events are now on sale at the Fringe website. Day 1 sees the start of theatre, with a production of Contractions taking place at the Wanstead Curtain, an astronomy taster at Wanstead Cricket Club and two of the Fringe’s biggest events:

  • The Duke Street Party will again transform Nightingale Lane with music, food and family activities throughout the day.
  • And the Open Air Kinema in Christ Church gardens – for many people the definitive Fringe event – still has tickets left. The entertainment tonight is Paddington in Peru. Don’t miss it – we always say this, but it’s the most atmospheric night in the Wanstead calendar.
