Public events
We put on a year-round programme of events open to the public. At Doors Open Day in September our buildings are open to explore, and throughout the year we hold public lectures, exhibitions and concerts, masterclasses and festivals.
University Events Calendar
Our main events are generally free, although sometimes you are advised to reserve a ticket. You can also discover which festivals and events we are involved with throughout the year.
Free public lectures
We have a variety of free lecture series, including our Enlightenment Lectures, the Medical Detectives series, Our Changing World cycle and the historic Gifford Lectures.
