Join us for the 50th Festival

The full programme for the 50th Festival, 4-6 September 2015, is now available.

We have celebrated the University’s 50th anniversary year in style and the stage is now set for the grand finale. The Festival is an open invitation to all staff to come to campus at the weekend, bringing family and friends to join the fun.

The weekend begins on Friday evening with a celebratory event at Canterbury Cathedral to which all staff are warmly invited – please register for this event as tickets are going fast.

The campus will be transformed with a welcoming festival atmosphere on the Saturday and Sunday, with over 100 activities and performances with which to get involved. From street entertainment and science experiments to live music and creative performances, there will be something for everyone! There will also be activities for children so staff can bring their families with them on the day.

At present, over 1,000 alumni, friends and former staff from all over the world have registered for the weekend and we look forward to welcoming them home to Kent.

Many staff are already supporting their school or department in staging an event; please email the Events team if you would like to help during the weekend.
