Royal Docks Innovation and Enterprise Summer Festival
Hero Carousel
This free, family-friendly festival is your chance to experience the energy, talent and ambition that make UEL so special. As one of the biggest events of the year on campus, it’s not to be missed – and for the second year running, it celebrates our Year of Health theme.
What to expect
From interactive exhibits and hands-on activities to live performances and inspiring ideas, the festival showcases the innovation and enterprise shaping the future of east London. Don’t miss our showstopper performance – a live wall dance on the side of the East Building.
You can explore contributions from UEL’s Schools and Services, meet the people behind the work, and discover how great ideas are brought to life. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit our UCAS Fair, Stratford Redevelopment Exhibition, and an International Conference on AI and Sustainability Advances, alongside much more.
