Pocket Science October Tour

All the fun of the fair – plus all the buzz of science.

We’re taking the Pocket Science Funfair on tour this October Half Term.  On its latest outing the funfair with a twist celebrates the twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter by dealing out a little magic of our own. And why stop at Potter? We have special effects from The Lord of the Rings and from Star Wars. Plus loads of other scientific treats and tricks: a full fairground’s worth of fun!

Tickets for all events will be available on the door, but you can book in advance to avoid the queue!

Brighton Science Festival 2018

Brighton Science Festival will run from 10th – 18th February 2018. We’re putting the programme together right now – if you’ve got an idea, an event, a suggestion, or you want to get involved, please do get in touch! 

Look out for more announcements closer to the time – in the meantime, take a look at our video of some of the highlights of Brighton Science Festival 2017:

POCKET SCIENCE

Take a look at our video of Pocket Science taking over the giant geodesic dome at the Elderflower Fields festival which we filled with people, entertainment, and fun. Oh, and some science as well.

WIDENING PARTICIPATION

After bringing some of the world’s best science to Brighton for two weeks, the mission now is to take some out to the rest of Sussex. We roam Sussex and further afield, visiting youth clubs, scout huts, community centres, bus shelters, anywhere, making sure everyone has access to as much science as possible. Why? Because science is cool. I mean, sometimes -273.15º celsius.

SCHOOLS TOUR

Although the bulk of Brighton Science Festival takes place in February, and we’ve recently widened our horizons to Autumn, we’re also constantly on tour – visiting schools and bringing science, education, and most importantly fun to as many educational establishments as we possibly can. If you’d like Brighton Science Festival to come to a school near you, please do get in touch and let us know.
