Help shape your science festival
The British Science Festival team want to know what people in the area think should be discussed at the UK’s largest science festival when it visits Surrey in September.
They will be holding drop-in sessions, open to anyone, to talk about the Festival and how it can be tailored to suit the local population. It’s your opportunity to have a say and help shape this year’s event.
Locations, dates and times:
The Guildhall, Guildford; Tuesday 3 February 11.00-15.30
*Due to weather conditions, the Guildford session has been rescheduled for Wednesday 25 February 10:00-16:00*
Redhill Library; Wednesday 4 February 10.00-14.00
Godalming Library; Thursday 5 February 15.00-19.00
Dorking Library; Monday 9 February 14.00-18.00
Weybridge Library; Tuesday 10 February 15.00-19.00
The Festival offers everyone an opportunity to talk to scientists from various disciplines, from climate change to the credit crunch and space exploration to resource exploitation. It also offers a wide programme of interactive events for families, including exciting science shows and fun experiments.
Highlights so far include an evening with Bill Bryson, and a series of events in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth and International Year of Astronomy.
Festival Manager Jo Coleman says: ‘It is important to us that the Festival is relevant to the local population. Although it is a national event with presenters and visitors from all over the UK and beyond, it is a chance to showcase what Surrey and the wider south east region has to offer in the way of science, technology and engineering innovation. As well as looking at the present and future we will also be celebrating the scientific heritage of the region.’
