Where those who inspire find their own inspiration.
Where those who inspire find their own inspiration.
The Festival of Education is designed to inspire, inform, and spark meaningful conversation, while following a structure that gives you time to engage, reflect, and connect with others.
Each day is divided into six 45-minute sessions, offering a diverse range of options at every interval. From thought-provoking talks and practical workshops to lively panel discussions, the agenda showcases the breadth and richness of the education landscape.
Each day at the Festival of Education is structured around six 45-minute sessions, giving attendees a rich and varied programme to explore. With ample time built in between sessions, there’s space to network, relax, explore the beautiful Festival grounds, and visit our vibrant exhibition area. Whether you’re looking for high-impact CPD, engaging policy debates, classroom inspiration, or something completely unexpected, the Festival offers a flexible and immersive experience that lets you shape your own journey.
We close each day with our very own version of the Glastonbury Legends slot—a headline session that brings everyone together for a memorable finale. Our #EducationFest Legends have included the likes of David Baddiel, Sir Lenny Henry, and Eddie Izzard, offering bold voices, big ideas, and a touch of theatre to end the day on a high. Expect the unexpected, and leave inspired.
We will begin unveiling the Festival 2026 content line-up in late 2025, giving you a preview of what’s to come across the agenda.
