Local residents

Thank you to all our residents who supported the Great Exhibition Road Festival in 2025, and to those who engaged with us during the consultation process. The experience of our local residents is very important to the festival team and to all the local partners involved. 

We look forward to working with you again as we start to plan for 2026, and welcoming you to explore the extraordinary on Saturday 6 June and Sunday 7 June 2026!

Thank you for your understanding. If you missed this year’s festival, or would like to relive the weekend, see highlights here:

Residents Letters

A letter with information around the 2026 Festival’s operations will be distributed to local residents directly affected by road closures in January and May 2026. A further letter will be distributed to residents who live in the wider surrounding areas of South Kensington in April 2026. 

If you have any queries about how you'll be affected by the Festival, please get in touch via email at [email protected].
