Festival of the Future 2026 — Friday: Schools Day
10.00am – 5.30pm (arrive 9.45am)
Royal College of Art, Battersea — Studio Building, Howie Street

Bring your class to a day built to open up the built environment. Festival of the Future returns to the RCA's Battersea campus with a full day of hands-on workshops, live talks and studio experiences for secondary-school students (Years 7–11, ages 11–16).

Led by some of the country's leading practices — architects, engineers and planners — and the organisations opening up the profession, this is a day of doing, not watching.

Teachers book a class, tell us your year group and numbers, and we'll build a timetable of activities around your students — so they can step inside the professions, meet the people who work in them, and discover the many routes in.

Booked by teachers, one class at a time.

Free.
