Thousands joined us for May Fest 2013, with the University welcoming its friends and the community for its 5th free, interactive community day.
May Fest again offered fun for all ages while showcasing learning and life at the University, and our commitment to working with the wider community.

As one visitor, Kate, put it: “So much to see and do! Entertaining and interesting to all of us: two 40-year-olds, a seven-year-old boy and five-year-old girl. I can’t remember the last time that happened!

“The staff and students were enthusiastic and helpful, masses of hands-on stuff!”

As well as the return of more brain games and the ever-popular thunder and lightning sessions, this year’s varied line-up included everything from engineering innovations to experiencing the universe at your fingertips in an inflatable planetarium.

While the sun did not shine as brightly as we might have hoped, many visitors still enjoyed picnics in the beautiful grounds of University Park or tours of its gardens.

University of Nottingham alumni were also invited to attend a free lunch at The Hemsley Restaurant on University Park.
