Great Exhibition Road Festival

Massive free festival will bring cutting-edge science, live art, new inventions, music, games and experiments to the streets of South Kensington!

This year’s Great Exhibition Road Festival is celebrating how science and the arts help people, communities and nature to flourish. Exhibition Road (closed to traffic for the weekend) and its side streets, squares and historic buildings will come alive with events, games, experiments, food, music, mind-blowing ideas and cutting-edge creations.

Join inventors, artists, scientists and designers from some of the world’s great museums and centres of arts and science as they leave their labs and step out of their studios to involve visitors of all ages in hundreds of free events.

Join the Swarm Dance AI silent disco, sing with strangers, learn about the lives of penguins, hybrid 3D-printed musical instruments, revolutionary medical technology, living on other planets, prehistoric sea monsters and the wonders of time. Construct mini-robots, help to build the cleaner and greener cities of the future, join scientists as they research skeletons, make art based on the messages flying through your brain and enjoy science shows, music, dance and storytelling!

The Great Exhibition Road Festival runs from 15-16 June 2024.
