Waltham Forest Festival of Theatre

The Festival is organised into both adult and youth sections and each competing team presents a one-act play.

Two or three one-act plays are performed at each evening or matinee session of the Festival.

The Adjudicator's marks are added up on the final night to decide who has won the Festival.

There are also awards for best actor, best actress, best performer under 18 years of age, best new writing, best comedy.

The original venue that the Festival was normally held in - the Waltham Forest Theatre in Lloyd Park, Walthamstow - was demolished in 2011, and the Festival's current regular venue is Chingford Assembly Hall.
