About the Festival

Our Great Exhibition Road Festival is a partnership with the Science Museum, V&A, Natural History Museum and more making it London’s biggest celebration of science and the arts.

It’s a vibrant, fun festival and it’s our chance to show that what we do here at Imperial isn’t just for the lab, the library or the journals. Science and the arts are for everyone and we want to inspire people and empower communities.

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.
