About the Festival
The Great Exhibition Road Festival is a free annual celebration of science and the arts each summer in South Kensington. Join us on 7-8 June 2025 for a weekend of free science and arts events for all ages.

Plus, you can indulge in food from all over the world and enjoy eclectic performances from the Royal College of Music and Royal Albert Hall.
