Get up-close to world-leading musical talent in the intimacy of this local London festival.
Wimbledon International Music Festival brings world-class music to the heart of South West London every November, offering an inspiring programme of concerts, talks and workshops for audiences of all ages.
Across three weeks, leading international artists, rising stars, and local musicians come together in a celebration of both excellence and community. From full-length evening concerts to late-night events, short recitals, and family-friendly performances, the Festival spans classical, jazz and folk – offering something for everyone.
Events take place in a range of local venues, from concert halls, theatres and churches to schools and community spaces, as well as wine bars and pubs. Our aim is to make exceptional music accessible, intimate, and relevant – right on people’s doorsteps.
Founded in 2009, WIMF is also proud to support the next generation of talent through artist development opportunities and education projects in Merton Borough schools. We regularly commission new works and collaborate with international partners to create bold, original productions that reflect the Festival’s adventurous spirit.
