Great Exhibition Road Festival event proposals

We’ll be publishing information on the proposals process for Imperial staff and students to submit event ideas for the 2024 Festival, which will take place on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 June 2024, in the autumn. If you would like to contact the Festival team in the meantime, please email Festival@imperial.ac.uk.

Volunteering

Open to all staff and students at Imperial, volunteering at the Great Exhibition Road Festival can give you the opportunity to try something new, gain experience, develop skills, build confidence, meet new people and have fun. 

We’ll be sharing more information on how to sign up as a Festival Volunteer closer to the 2024 event.

"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
