UCL Summer Festival 2023

Our summer festival is a celebration of the end of the academic year taking place on Saturday 3 June between 18:00 - 00:00 at Earthh Hackney. It will include a range of activities including music performances, games and activities + immersive experiences.

Tickets are priced between £20 - £35. Alumni can attend, however there will be a £10 surcharge for Alumni tickets. Those attending with a carer will receive an additional Carers ticket at no extra cost.

Our summer festival is an over 18 event. Any tickets purchased by anyone under that age are neither valid nor eligible for a refund. Once any ticket has been purchased, it will only be changed or refunded in the case of cancellation.

In that case, the purchaser can apply for a refund in a period no longer than thirty days from the date of the public announcement of the cancellation.

While every effort is made to ensure that all billed acts perform, UCL reserves the right to change the bill without prior notification.

Bad weather & natural disasters will not lead to ticket refunds.

The purchase of a ticket for our Summer Festival is for the event itself and not for a specific artist and no refund will be offered in the event of artist cancellations.
