London's Vaults festival finds a new home
London’s Vault Festival has found a new venue.
Organisers have not yet said where the space is, but it will be opening as a year-round venue from the spring.
And the festival – which pioneers new fringe theatre and comedy work – will be back in autumn 2024.
The festival was forced out of its home of ten years beneath Waterloo station earlier this year after failing to strike a deal with the landlords that would have secured its long-term future.
Vault will also be holding its first fundraising gala on March 19, one year to the day since the doors closed on Vault Festival. It will be at Shoreditch Town Hall in East London, but no further details ahve been announced.
The festival’s co-founder Andy George said: ‘We are pumped to have found a new home for Vault following a challenging few years.
‘The fact we're still alive and kicking, and with a very bright future ahead, is very much thanks to the love and support we’ve received from artists and audiences who are as determined as we are to keep the mission of Vault alive.
‘One of our non-negotiables for our new home was ensuring we have step-free access so more people can enjoy the work of our wonderful artists.
‘We’re so excited for what the future of Vault holds.'
