Gather festival
Gather festival celebrates culture, global citizenship and community.
Our University has 33,000 students and around 40% are from countries outside the UK - together we represent 135 nations!
Staff, students and the local community are all involved and welcomed to Gather and share in the diversity of experience.
Last year’s Gather had over 50 events attended by 2,500 people from across the University and local community.
