Preston

The Preston Branch is run by a group of volunteers all united by a common passion - science, and communicating it to the public. We hold events ranging from SciBar style talks to panel events, debates to science busking. We also deliver workshop-style events with families, covering a range of topics from the vastness of space to the fascinating organisms of microbiology.

We are always on the lookout for volunteers, so if you would like to join us please get in touch!
