Frieze London Fair will be held 15 to 19 Oct 2025 in London, England. Frieze London Fair is a premier contemporary art fair showcasing the work of leading artists from around the world. The event also hosts film screenings, musical performances, panel discussions, debates and keynote speakers featuring leading figures from the art world. A recent addition focuses on performance-based installations, and a variety of guided tours provide an excellent introduction to the event. The focus on living artists is also evident in the critically acclaimed Frieze Projects’ programme. The fair presents a curated programme of talks, artists’ commissions and film projects, many of which are interactive art or performative and encourage visitors to engage with art and artists directly. The events surrounding the fair, however, are seen, attended, and (arguably) enjoyed by far more people. Whether it's a party, an opening, or an installation, there's something for everyone. Here are top picks. Frieze London Fair is an event and I like events...
Each year, for the last four years, The fair had over 60,000 visitors to Frieze London. These visitors included those with an interest in the art world, such as curators, artists, collectors, gallerists and critics, as well as the general public. Some visit as first-time collectors of art whilst others view the fair more as an exhibition, enjoying the experience as a cultural day out.
Unlike most other fairs, Frieze London is housed in a bespoke temporary structure, which is located in Regent’s Park and benefits from having a natural light source, avoiding the atmosphere of a trade show, thus making the fair both lively and energetic.
The 2025 Frieze Artist Award was awarded to New York-based artist Rachel Rose, who created a scale-model of the fair structure, in which lighting and sound design simulated the sonic and visual sense frequencies of animals inhabiting The Regent’s Park
