Opportunity
You’ll have the chance to hear directly from a wide range of current students and staff, ask questions and find out more about their experiences.
The day is also an opportunity to think about your own next steps, explore your interests and make sure you’re on the right path towards your future goals.
Celebrate
Take a look back at some of our Festivals and the unforgettable moments. From inspiring conversations to exciting activities and celebrations, this short video highlights the energy, creativity and impact of previous events.
We’ve already taken the Oxplore Festival to Bodmin, Bradford, Warrington and Birmingham where hundreds of students got stuck into big ideas, new experiences and unforgettable conversations.
For 2027, it’s Leicester’s turn. Will we see you there?
