The VAULT Festival, London’s leading independent festival of live performance will return in 2024.

Creators VAULT announced today they are building a brand new venue in the heart of London to stage the festival which is set to return in Autumn of next year. In an extensive London wide search, VAULT has secured a vacant space in Zone 1 Central London and will transform the space into a thriving artistic hub. This new, multi-space venue will be a year-round, long-term home for VAULT, which will open its doors in Spring 2024 and will host the return of the much-loved VAULT Festival, as well as other new creative ventures, particularly aimed at supporting early career artists with more to be announced in the coming months.

VAULT has today launched a fundraising campaign, in participation with The Big Give Christmas Challenge to raise funds for access equipment to ensure the space is accessible to as many people as possible. The Big Give Christmas Challenge runs from the 28th November – 5th December, where VAULT will have seven days to reach their fundraising target of £9,925, which will be match-funded by The Big Give to a total of £19,850. The funds will be used to equip the venue with access tools such as hearing loop systems, captioning software, and audio description devices to ensure that as many people as possible can experience the transformative power of live performance. People can contribute to the campaign through the The Big Give Christmas Challenge website. 

Earlier this year, VAULT marked the end of its decade-long run of their flagship event VAULT Festival at its original venue launching the search to find and secure a new home.

On Tuesday 19th March 2024, one year to the day since the doors closed on VAULT Festival 2023 in its original home, VAULT will host an elevated evening of fine dining and entertainment at Shoreditch Town Hall. Tickets for the VAULT Gala will go on sale early in 2024. 

Director and Co-Founder Andy George said in a statement, “We are pumped to have found a new home for VAULT following a challenging few years. The fact we’re still alive and kicking, and with a very bright future ahead, is very much thanks to the love and support we’ve received from artists and audiences who are as determined as we are to keep the mission of VAULT alive. One of our non-negotiables for our new home was ensuring we have step-free access so more people can enjoy the work of our wonderful artists. But we don’t want to stop there. We want to install access tools throughout the building so that artists and audiences who are d/Deaf, deafened or living with sight loss can enjoy everything we and our artists do. We want to champion a world that is accessible by default, not by exception.

We’re so excited for what the future of VAULT holds, and with the support of funds raised by The Big Give Christmas Challenge, we can ensure this new era of VAULT is accessible for as many people as possible.”

Further details including exact location & programmer will be announced in Spring 2024.
