What is a street theatre & buskers festival?

Busking is the art of street performing. Unlike any other type of performance it is unique in style with musicians, performing artists and other disciplines showcasing their talent on the pavement. Allow your mind to go beyond the general images associated with 'busking' , the Applause Festival takes on many guises: it is creators of contemporary art, curators of fine music, characters of circus and contributers of cryptic performances.


Living statues move before your eyes, circus performers juggle, tumble, spin and cycle and the music transforms and transports you - an eclectic mix of jazz, funk, Celtic, rock, country, swing and acoustic pieces.


The Applause Festival brings entertainment to the people. There is no other form of artistic expression that is more diverse, action orientated, spontaneous or accessible. The world may be a stage, but Dean street is their audience, drawing, rewarding, reacting and applauding.

There is not cost, the entertainment is free, we only request that you show your appreciation by contributing to the buskers hat during or at the end of the show.

Come along and experience it yourself!
