Posted: 24 June 2021

The Science Festival isn’t just for kids! We’ve got plenty of interactive activities for adults and young people to enjoy throughout the Festival, both online and in person.

Join in with Stranger Than Fiction – a panel game with a difference, where your team has to sort the surprising facts from ridiculous fiction. Take part in the ultimate zoom quiz UniverSILLY Challenged Quiz, and enjoy a night of laughter with one-of-a-kind virtual cabaret with ECOmedy Night. If food is more your thing, enjoy Cheeseology at Home and learn the science behind cheese as you taste some of the finest cheeses around – don’t forget to order your cheese pack in advance

Take a trip to the woods in interactive workshop Foraging Filmmakers, and create a beautiful, abstract 16mm celluloid film using foraged plants and botanicals.
