Volunteer at the Great Exhibition Road Festival!

Gain experience, develop skills, build confidence, meet new people and have fun by volunteering at this year’s Great Exhibition Road Festival in June!

The Great Exhibition Road Festival is a flagship public event in the Imperial calendar, delivered in collaboration with our world-leading cultural neighbours including the Royal Albert Hall, Science Museum, Natural History Museum, Royal College of Music, and the Victoria & Albert Museum. 

Returning for another celebration on 15-16 June 2024, the Great Exhibition Road Festival will celebrate science and the arts helps people, communities, and nature to flourish with a weekend of free talks, workshops, exhibits and performances for all ages.

As a volunteer, you will help with the smooth running of the event, from being on hand to answer visitor queries, to supporting stall holders and our exhibitors in their activities. Full training is provided and it is an invaluable opportunity to make new connections and truly be part of something great.

"With all the families having fun and feeling welcomed in the university space, as a scientist I rarely think about the impact science has in society. I could observe that this weekend." - Imperial researcher

"The presenters were just brilliant - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and made every one of every age very welcome." - Festival attendee

"I am more comfortable with speaking to the public about the research we carry out and have become quite good at explaining it in simple terms. It also helped me re-discover how much I like science!” - Imperial researcher
