The Great Exhibition Road Festival returns to South Kensington on Saturday and Sunday, offering a free weekend of science and arts events for all ages. Visitors can explore hands-on workshops, engaging talks, performances, and installations from top institutions like Imperial College London, the Natural History Museum, the V&A, and more.

The free family-friendly festival also features global street food and eclectic live performances from the Royal College of Music and Royal Albert Hall. The action is split across different zones, each focusing on a different theme – a tech zone, a natural world zone, a family fun zone, and more – and packed with interactive activities, live demonstrations, and other fun happenings.

You can find the full programme and the festival map here.
