UCL Festival of Culture 2019 Logo
Running over an exciting 5 days (3-7 June 2019) across the central London Bloomsbury Campus, the Festival features a packed programme of talks, debates, exclusive appearances, workshops, live performance, walking tours, film screenings and exhibitions.
Playing host to a wealth of award-winning authors, iconic artists, emerging talent, international writers and leading thinkers, UCL’s fourth Festival of Culture offers over 80 opportunities to engage with the ground-breaking ways in which UCL research challenges social norms, confronts the past and helps us to think critically about the present.
This year’s highlights:
