Making It Festival

What does it mean to “make it” as an artist in the 21st century? As traditions evolve and power shifts, artists with the skills to create their own work become the trailblazers of our culture.

Join us for the 2025 Making It Festival: a three-week celebration of new, original work made by Guildhall School students.

Festival events include:
 

• Opera Makers
• GradEx: Production Arts Graduate Exhibition 2025
• The Making of Us : Final Year Actors’ Self-Led Performances
• Collaborative Performance Making Showcase
• Electronic & Produced Music Showcase
• SMORGASBORD: The Making It Cabaret
• Our Making It Work discussion series
   

The jam-packed programme also includes special events, installations and pop-up performances across the campus.

Tickets start at just £5, and most events are free

Join us this summer to celebrate the next generation of ground-breaking artists.
