Festival programme
We’ve adapted this year’s Festival so it’s accessible for everyone whilst also ensuring the safety of our students and staff.
BFX Festival talks will be delivered at the Talbot Campus where BU students will be invited to attend in person. The talks will also be live streamed and accessible to everyone to view online.
Masterclass sizes will be limited and are open to the BU community, as well as the public, to attend in person. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
