Five days of artistic, scientific and literary events, immersive exhibitions and performances in unusual locations, the Bloomsbury Festival brings more than 200 events, most of them free, to the literary district of London. On Friday 19th October Roll Up Store Street presents a free outdoor street party with a circus theme. Sunday Funday brings a day of fun for families to Brunswick Square. A Suffragette Scavenger Hunt is just one of six events celebrating Bloomsbury women at this year's festival which takes on the theme of Activists and Architects of Change. There are bold new theatre and dance pieces at Bloomsbury Theatre from new talent coming out of RADA and Central St Martins. You can get a tour of The Principal, Bloomsbury's famous landmark hotel, fresh from its recent refurbishment; its ballroom provides the location for the festival's grand finale concert. It all takes place at venues across Bloomsbury, from major institutions like the British Museum, University College London and the Wellcome Collection to quirky spaces and family favourites like Coram's Fields.
