Fringe Arts Wolverhampton 2026

27–29 November 2026 | Wolverhampton City Centre

Three days. One city. Art everywhere.

Following an incredible first year welcoming almost 2,000 visitors, Fringe Arts Wolverhampton returns for 2026.

Bigger, bolder and spreading across the city.

Over 28 visual artists, more than 30 local performers, over 12 participating venues, immersive outdoor theatre, live music, creative workshops, film, open studios, a city-centre light trail, and a spectacular lantern parade.

This year's theme, ILLUMINATE, shines a light on what we can celebrate, protect and nurture within our communities and the world around us.

The programme explores our local community, the beauty of nature, collective action, and the sustainable practices, traditional skills and creative knowledge that help us care for people, places and the environment.

Fringe is programmed with and for our local community, showcasing the diversity and extraordinary homegrown talent of Wolverhampton and the Black Country.
