Loughborough London Students

LU Arts can help you get involved in the arts and doing something creative outside of your studies.

LU Arts provides a range of creative opportunities for London students. These activities, whether it be workshops, performances or competitions, not only enable you to learn new skills and meet new friends but also support your wellbeing and employability.

Many aspects of our programme are open to London students as well as those based on our East Midlands campus. We've picked out some of the key opportunities that are open to you on this page so you can quickly and easily discover more.

Our varied events programme includes online events such as artist talks, discussions and special screenings. Details of any forthcoming events can be found on the Loughborough London events page as well as our website; most are free, although booking may be required. 

In addition to any events or opportunities that we offer, you'll find that East London is well served for arts venue and organisations. We've produced an updated arts map and guide to help you make the most of the cultural opportunities on your doorstep. Printed copies available from the London campus in late October 2024. Look out for announcements on the screens on campus and on our social media channels. We'll also updated this page once the guides are available to collect from reception on campus.
