The University’s Community Festival returns to Campus this year on Saturday 17 May.
The Festival brings together local residents, alumni, community groups and small businesses for a programme of live music, theatre and performance, community stands, crafts, street food, and research activities.
Last year’s research programme included a research exhibition featuring stands with hands-on activities, children’s talks, and research talks. The activities were popular and well received by both visitors and participants, and this year’s Festival aims to expand on these activities and attract new audiences.
