Here's your guide to what's happening, when and where.

What's the Festival of Learning? 

Bournemouth University's annual event that includes more than 100 events and activities. This is the fourth year it has taken place. 

When is it? 

It starts on Saturday and runs until Wednesday. 

Where is it?

Most of the activites take place at Talbot Campus but some are off campus so you'll need to check on the Festival of Learning website at https://microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk/festival-of-learning/

How much does it cost?

It's completely free but you will need to book free tickets for some of the events. 

What happens on Saturday?

Numerous classes including Yoga, outdoor spin, boxercise, Zumba, and badminton. There's even ravepong and raveminton which are played in the dark under UV light.

If you're taking the kids, there's a stop motion animation for families between 11am and 5pm where you can have a go at making your own 30 second film as well as interactive fossil activities. 

There are sports camps for children aged 8 to 14-years-old with three sessions available: 11am to 1pm, 1pm to 3pm and 3pm to 5pm. 

What else is on?

Lots including comedy workshops, performances and art exhibitions.

Perfect your comedic timing, see how trees can act as ecological clocks, and hear about the history of protest music at a variety of arts and theatre events.

They include a performance of HAP: a comedy about happiness, on Monday June 27 at 7pm, created by Bournemouth-based Doppelganger Productions. 

The team will also hold an interactive comedy workshop which will explore happiness, laughter and other aspects of the human condition through participatory drama, comedy improvisation techniques and discussion.

A multimedia exhibition on Saturday called All Trees are Clocks will demonstrate how ancient trees can act as ecological clocks, showing how climate change is affecting woodland. 

Anything else?

Other arts-focused Festival of Learning events include an exhibition of award-winning algae photography at Poole Park, two new plays by winners of the Fresher Playwriting Prize, and an exploration of the history and role of protest music, complete with live performances. 

Interesting fact... 

This year’s Festival of Learning also incorporates a global audience, with simultaneous events taking place in China and Malaysia in an international celebration of learning.
