The Great Exhibition Road Festival and Alumni Weekend are returning to South Kensington on 17 and 18 June 2023

Join us in the Alumni Lounge

The Great Exhibition Road Festival is a weekend of free events for all ages celebrating the inspirational power of awe and wonder in science and the arts. As an Imperial graduate, we invite you to register for access to the exclusive Alumni Lounge, a place to escape the crowds, meet up with friends and relax and refuel with complimentary refreshments. By purchasing an Alumni Lounge pass in advance, you also get early-bird access to the most sought-after events of the weekend including tours and talks.

Alumni Weekend registration opens on Friday 21 April. Update your contact details and communication preferences to make sure you receive your invitation.
