1. Imperial Lates (closed until Autumn 2025)
LOCATION: Main Entrance on Exhibition Road, College Main Entrance, South Kensington Campus
The 2025/26 season will begin in November and run until March, with the themes of the evenings to be revealed in Autumn 2025.
About Imperial Lates
Imperial Lates are a series of free, after hours, adults-only events. They are a fun and social way for visitors to interact with the latest scientific developments at Imperial College London, centred around a new theme for each evening.
Your role on the night
You will be allocated several roles at the event. We will, of course, try to give you roles which you will enjoy and you will have the opportunity to let us know what interests you most! Roles include:
- Welcoming members of the public and helping with enquiries
- Managing talks and performance entry and turnaround
- Supporting researchers or artists taking part in a workshop or talk
- Helping us understand what people thought about the event
- Collecting pictures and stories for College news or social media

About the Festival
This exciting annual celebration of science and the arts is a collaboration between Imperial College London and iconic cultural partners including the Science Museum, Natural History Museum, V&A and the Royal Albert Hall. Thousands of visitors attend each year to engage with our world-leading science and experience the arts in unique ways. But none of this would be possible without our Imperial community coming together to help make it happen!
Volunteering applications are now closed, but save the date for this year's Festival on 7-8 June 2025 if you'd like to come along as a visitor!
Check back in Spring 2026 if you'd like to volunteer at the next Festival.
