What happens during Culture Fest?

Every year is different, but Culture Fest typically includes:

Live music, dance and cultural performances from students
Society stalls celebrating cultures from around the world
Traditional clothing and flag displays
International food tasting from student societies and the College café
Interactive activities such as henna art, cultural crafts and games
A world heritage map where students can celebrate their family roots
Opportunities to discover new cultures, languages and traditions

The festival transforms the Quad into a vibrant hub of colour, music and conversation, with students sharing everything from family recipes and traditional dress to performances and cultural stories.

Student-led and community-driven

Culture Fest is led by students, for students.

The Student Council works throughout the year with cultural societies and volunteers to coordinate performances, organise activities and create an event that reflects the diversity of the Hills Road community.

Students are encouraged to get involved by:

Performing music, dance or spoken word
Hosting a cultural stall or activity
Sharing traditional food or customs
Wearing traditional clothing
Helping to organise events throughout the week
Supporting and celebrating fellow students
Why it matters

At Hills Road, we believe our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.

Culture Fest provides a space to celebrate different backgrounds, encourage understanding and create meaningful connections across our college community. It reflects our commitment to inclusion, respect and belonging, while giving students the opportunity to develop leadership, teamwork and event management skills through planning and delivering the festival.

Each year, hundreds of students take part, making Culture Fest a memorable celebration of creativity, identity and community spirit.

Get involved

Culture Fest takes place annually in July.

If you'd like to perform, run a stall, volunteer or help organise the event, keep an eye on Student Council communications and SharePoint for opportunities to get involved.

We welcome everyone to take part—whether you're sharing your own culture, discovering someone else's, or simply enjoying the celebrations with friends.
