History
The History of WSAF
The Warwick Student Arts Festival used to be a yearly event from 2004 to 2015.
Last year, a group of students decided to bring it back, and it was a huge success! We saw 2,500+ people celebrate the arts at Warwick across 70+ events and 9 venues.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you putting on this event?
The University of Warwick has a wealth of highly motivated student bands, theatre societies and other performing groups which we want to present to whole University community in the summer term. This is inspired by the old 'Warwick Student Arts Festival', which to our knowledge last took place in 2015.
Are you run by the University?
No, we are an independent group of students. Last year, WSAF operated under the Tech Crew society, however we are currently in the process of establishing a society of our own. Last year and this year we were fortunate to receive funding from Together@Warwick's grant scheme, and due to the nature of the festival we have closely collaborated with university departments such as Marketing, Estates, AV Services and Conferences. Despite this, all decisions are still made by students!
How is WSAF different to other society events such as SocFest?
WSAF's aim is to widen performance opportunities and to give people the chance to watch something that they might not have seen otherwise. We're providing a collection of a wider range of arts than a certain type of drama or society, but are more performance and arts-related than SocFest. You're more than welcome to submit and exhibit the same performance at both WSAF and another event.
I'd like to help out but don't want or have anything to perform. Is this possible?
Of course! We're a fully student-run initiative so also need help in advance with organisation, marketing and planning, and on the day with operations, stewarding and tech. Please see our crew page for more information.
I've found references to an older Warwick Student Arts Festival or Warwick Fringe before. Is this related?
Yes! The Warwick Student Arts Festival used to be a yearly event from 2004 to 2015, and we brought it back last year in 2024! You can find out more about WSAF's history on the history page.
Where can I find out more information, find additional photos or download your logo?
