“The Platinum Sponsorship was an opportunity we couldn't turn down. We want to support our neighbours because the University and its students are at the very heart of the local community and a key part of the local economy too. The plans for the weekend sound spectacular and we can't wait until July!”

The Love Luton 2012 Festival starts on Friday, 6 July and the Olympic Torch will arrive in the town for an evening celebration on Sunday, 8 July.
