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

This year, we will be visiting Birmingham from 14-19 September. We will be working in partnership with Aston University and supported by Advantage West Midlands, Saudi AramcoBirmingham City Council, the University of Birmingham and Birmingham City University. Many events will be taking place on Aston University campus and throughout various venues across Birmingham.

From workshops to debates to hands-on activities, the British Science Festival has something for everyone. Expect to take part in heated debates where you can dissect and discuss the latest scientific research. Join in on talks, watch plays and films, see famous faces or take a fieldtrip around the local area. Bring along the whole family and get stuck into some hands-on fun and discover the wonders of all things science. The British Science Festival helps to bring science closer to you...
