The summer shows are the highlight of the academic calendar at Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon. Show season runs May to September, and students from all courses will be showcasing the skills they have honed during their time with us. Here we take look back at some of our Vice-Chancellor’s favourite images from last year’s shows. They will give you a taste of what to be expected when the colleges open their doors to the public this summer.
