What's on at the UCL200 Summer Festival

As part of our UCL200 Summer Festival, we have a huge range of activities to get involved in. 

Join us during the day and develop a new skill, give back to our community, or flex your creativity. You can expect a week packed full of panels, workshops, taster sessions, fitness classes, community volunteering and fun challenges. We're even attempting to break a world record! 

Each evening we'll transform the Main Quad into a destination venue for a series of ticket only headline events.
