The Fitzrovia Arts Festival is a remarkable thing. In the heart of one of the greatest cities in the world the community of Fitzrovia has come together to create an incredible event.

​

Due to the generosity of the sponsors all Fitzrovia Arts Festival events are free.

​

Entering its ninth edition, the Fitzrovia Arts Festival celebrates the rich artistic past and present of London’s beloved bohemian postcode. It draws on the talents of the many internationally-acclaimed artists, performers and writers living in the area, and celebrates the achievements of many of the great figures of the past who have made Fitzrovia home – from Benjamin Britten and Virginia Woolf, to George Bernard Shaw and Sidney Bechet.

​

For 2025, the Fitzrovia Arts Festival is centered around the theme 'Fitzrovia is a Muse' and highlights the many artists and writers who have taken inspiration from this very special area of London. Each event will focus on one of the nine classical muses from Ancient Greek Mythology and we make absolutely no apology for shoe-horning dreadful puns, such as 'We are no aMUSEd' and 'aMUSE bouche' into tenuously arranged comedy and food events. The puns continue apace in that Fitzrovia is, of course, an area replete with many Mewses (in the singular; Mews- an alley where there were once stables; a narrow passage; a confined place.) Indeed the festival kicks off this year with an outdoor party in the award-winning Warren Mews. We invite you to 'muse' on the idea of Fitzrovia itself and consider deeply what exactly the elements are that make it so special to so many people.

​

With a programme of concerts (both classical and jazz), exhibitions, poetry readings, talks, walks, and performances, the Festival is  a wonderful confirmation of the cultural continuity and community spirit of this unique London ‘village’.
