Performances will take place across five nights and two weekend afternoons at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich.

Dates and times
The festival runs from Wednesday, July 15 to Sunday, July 19, 2026, with all shows starting at 19:30. The venue is accessible via Greenwich rail or Cutty Sark DLR stations.
