Newcastle will come alive with a celebration of its world-class science, engineering and technology when Europes longest-running public science event sets up in the city from 7-12 September. Events will be hosted at various venues throughout Newcastle.
The British Science Festival will bring together families, adults and school groups with the UKs top scientists, science presenters and journalists to enjoy an exciting programme of activity featuring exhibitions, science shows, comedy, drama and science street buskers plus debates and lectures on the latest scientific breakthroughs. The Festival is to be hosted by Newcastle University with Northumbria University and Newcastle City Council as associate partners and will take place at venues across the city. The fun kicks-off with a weekend dedicated to entertaining and educating families with everything from science sleepovers and superheroes to freaky food of the future, an interactive game revolving around a fictional disease outbreak and even the evolutionary history of teddy bears.
