Put on an event

We welcome internal departments, speakers and external organisations into our programme of events either upon request or by invitation. The programme is finalised in June each year so please contact us as early as possible to discuss your involvement. If you are a member of the University, please see the Existing staff and students page.

If you think you’d like to participate in the UK’s only free arts, humanities and social sciences festival, please contact the team to discuss the options.
