Imperial Lates: Lights, Colour, Action
October 23, 2025 @ 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Event Navigation
Come along to Imperial’s most lit Lates! Brighten up your night with a celebration of Diwali and the power and beauty of light through science, art and entertainment.
In this free event, we will explore the fascinating ways light helps us understand our world, from sunlight’s effect on our skin to the vast reaches of space.
Step onto the dancefloor for a vibrant Bollywood dance experience, then join the light disco to explore science through movement. Or sit down and experience a playful showdown between Imperial scientists as they compete to prove who has captured the most beautiful image in science, before enjoying some light-themed comedy with Roma Agrawal and Subhadra Das.
Ever wondered what the brightest object in the universe is? Build a team and test your knowledge in the quiz to find out (prizes for the brightest minds!). Then stop by to see Rangoli art being made live to celebrate the Festival of Lights.
Throw in a pop-up dance performance, photography and art installations, spotlight talks, a live DJ plus tasty snacks and drinks from the bar, and you have yourself an illuminating night of science fun.
