And that’s a wrap for WoWFEST 25 – Celebrating 25 Years of Radical Writing.
Over the past four weeks, we’ve held 30 events attended by 3000 people, with an amazing line-up of writers, artists, journalists, commentators and activists. The conversations, performances, and ideas at these events inspired reflection, challenged perspectives, and brought people together. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped shape and deliver this incredible programme, representing the best of everything we have achieved over 25 years.
Whether you performed, volunteered, attended, or supported us behind the scenes, your energy and commitment helped make this year’s festival unforgettable, and we send you all a huge thanks from everyone at WoW.
We’re now gathering photos and film from across the festival and will be updating the website soon. If you joined us at an event, keep an eye out—you might spot yourself in our highlights! We’d love to see any photos or video footage that you took too, so please send it on.
Reaching this milestone is something we’re deeply proud of, and we couldn’t have done it without the ongoing support of our artists, audiences, communities, and partners. Thank you for helping us celebrate—and for continuing to shape what WoW is and what it can become.
