On Thursday 25th June, the XP Festival of Arts and Culture returns to XP Doncaster, bringing together students, families, staff and artists for a joyful celebration of creativity and community.
Throughout the day, you’ll experience live music, powerful performances, vibrant art installations, and the beautiful work that defines XP. Students from every XP Trust school will be contributing, sharing their talents and passions through exhibitions, dance, storytelling, and more – all designed to connect, inspire and make a difference.
The festival is a key moment in our XP Live programme – a growing Trust-wide initiative that gives young people authentic opportunities to produce, perform and create. It builds on our commitment to purposeful learning and supports our belief that every child can do meaningful, creative work that impacts the wider world.
• This is an outdoor event – please come prepared for the possibility of inclement weather.
• There is no designated seating – you are welcome to bring your own portable seating, if required.
• Parking for the festival is free, if using Doncaster Rovers Car Park 3.
More details on the line-up will be shared soon – we can’t wait to welcome you.
This event is free – but we will welcome donations on the day to support future XP Live Events.
