Attend the Great British Festival 2024 in the Philippines

We are inviting UK universities to attend the Great British Festival 2024, taking place in the Philippines in October. 

Hosted by the British Embassy, British Chamber of Commerce and the British Council in the Philippines, this event showcases the rich history, tradition, lifestyle and culture of the United Kingdom. It aims to foster longstanding camaraderie and friendship between the Philippines and the United Kingdom, bringing together British brands, music, food, live performances and fun-filled activities.

In 2023, the Great British Festival in Bonifacio High Street welcomed over 50,000 people in the span of a weekend after four years of hiatus. The event was supported by 38 corporate partners across the financial, food and beverage, retail autoshow, general business and education sectors. 

The 2024 edition will take place in High Street, Bonifacio Global City, from 19 to 20 October 2024, to coincide with UK-Philippines Friendship Day. This is open to families, prospective students, the general public and media. 

Why attend?

As the Philippines continues to expand as an emerging market for UK higher education, this is a great opportunity to directly engage with potential students across the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

An exhibition and public presentations will also be arranged to allow you to promote your institution’s expertise.

Further details regarding the Festival are still being finalised, but there will be no exhibitor participation fee for interested institutions.

Action Required

UK education providers can express their interest in attending by emailing Audrey.Mendoza@britishcouncil.org by 26 August 2024.

Please note, sending an expression of interest does not confirm your participation at the event.
