About Birmingham

From 14-19 September, the British Science Festival will visit the West Midland.

Birmingham is rich in history and culture and offers a range of attractions, art galleries, theatres, excellent shopping facilities and restaurants to tempt you with food from all over the world.

Birmingham is one of six Science Cities in the UK and is located in the heart of England. The ground-breaking research and development that takes place today is built on a strong scientific heritage.

This is demonstrated through the many academic and professional organisations in the region, including Aston and Birmingham Universities, their associated science parks, and other notable regional facilities such as QinetiQ and Warwick University and Science Park.

If you wish to book accommodation for your visit to the British Science Festival you can do so by calling 0121 202 5151.

Alternatively you can use sites such as booking.com or lastminute.com or, for cheaper hostel accommodation, hostelbookers.com. Most of the events during the Festival take place close to the city centre.
