About the Festival
The Great Exhibition Road Festival is a free annual celebration of science and the arts in person and online. It's a collaboration between institutions, scientists, artists and innovators on and around Exhibition Road, including some of the world’s most iconic museum’s and institutions.
Our exciting programme of talks, workshops and activities this year will focus on how we can use the arts and sciences to help inspire a greener future for the planet we share. We'll be inviting visitors to see what actions – both big and small – we can take in our own lives to care for nature and how we can join together to give a voice to our planet, from community projects to global action.
Anyone at Imperial can be a part of the team, no experience needed. From welcoming visitors to social media support, there’s a role for you.

- Helping us understand what people thought about the event
