Festival 2025 Meet-ups
Join us at Deptford X Meet-Ups
Deptford X Meet-Ups are a chance to get together with other members of the Deptford X community. Whether you’re a Fringe artist, volunteer, venue or just want to know more about the festival, we’d love to see you.
At the Meet-Ups, you will:
- Learn more about Deptford X Fringe – what it means to be part of the Fringe, how to apply, chat through the support available, get advice on venues to approach and talk through projects.
- Get to know other local artists, community groups, and creatives.
- Share your thoughts on the sort of support you would like as a Fringe artist and shape the way the Fringe works.
Meet-Ups are free to attend. Help us with our planning by booking a ticket via the links below or just turn up.
