The British Science Festival  is one of Europe's largest science festivals, taking place each September. Each year the Festival travels to a different UK location, bringing you the latest in science, technology and engineering.

This year, we will be visiting Birmingham from 14-19 September. Many events will be taking place on Aston University campus and at various venues across Birmingham. 

At the Festival you can expect to:

  • Take part in heated debates
  • Join in on the big discussions
  • Learn and explore   
  • Watch plays and films
  • Meet and debate with famous faces 
  • Take a fieldtrip  
  • Bring along the whole family and get stuck into some hands-on science fun

The British Science Festival helps to bring science closer to you...
