Lambeth Open 2025 will take place on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th October, from 10 am to 6 pm, transforming the borough into a free, public gallery. Artists and makers across Lambeth will open their studios and homes, inviting visitors to explore paintings, sculptures, design, and craft. The event, started in 2009, requires no tickets and features an interactive map on the Lambeth Open website to help plan routes.
This annual festival matters because it spotlights local creative talent and makes art accessible to everyone, fostering community engagement and supporting emerging and established artists. By removing financial barriers and opening private workspaces, Lambeth Open strengthens the cultural fabric of South London and encourages direct connections between creators and the public.
