Wanstead Fringe and Wanstead Cricket Club have announced a new partnership which, among other things, will see more Fringe events taking place at the club’s ground.
In a statement, the Fringe organisers said:
“We’re really pleased to announce a new partnership between Wanstead Fringe and Wanstead Cricket Club. The groups have shared a lot over the years – the club’s Overton Drive ground has been the site of many events including our first ever open air Kinema – and the new partnership will see more to come this September.
“While the Fringe’s goal is to support and encourage the arts and culture in Wanstead, the Cricket Club has always believed that cricket is about more than just what happens on the pitch – both share the vision that their activities are about community, connection and supporting the place we call home. Both organisations are not-for-profit organisations, and any money they raise goes back into their activities to support the community.
“Giles Wilson, Wanstead Fringe chair said: “We’re very grateful to Wanstead Cricket Club for their support in helping us bring another Fringe festival to life this September. Overton Drive has been the site of some of our most memorable events, and we’re thrilled to be deepening our relationship with the club through this new partnership.”
