Up Next Festival 2025

06 Mar 2025 - 08 Mar 2025

Unity Theatre

This year Up Next will be returning to its bread and butter with a single weekend of non-stop performance of new work and events. Applications are now closed so keep your eyes peeled for the full line up very soon!

Up Next Festival’s identity and energy thrives on a wide variety of work from a wide variety of artists. Work in previous festivals has ranged from side-splittingly funny cabaret acts to heart-felt testimonial pieces, to groundbreaking interactive light installation pieces that took the audience on an apocalyptic journey. There is no limit to the work or specification to Up Next, that’s what makes it so unique and special so if you feel like you have an idea, at any stage of development, we want to hear from you. Work can be from any art form or any stage of development, you can perform a script in hand reading, present a short extract or a first try at sharing a piece.
