The free festival takes place from 10am to 4pm at the Royal Holloway, University of London campus in Egham, Surrey.

Those visiting the festival will be treated to a host of interactive displays and talks from, and for, people with a passion for science.

Last year, special guests included TV maths champion and author, Bobby Seagull on the magic of numbers, along with the popular Wiggly Wildshow, Birds of Prey and the Gauge One Model Railway Association Surrey with their miniature steam trains.

The programme also included a range of things to see and do to explore science from across our science departments, with a treasure trail for younger visitors to complete their Science Passport. Thanks to all our visitors for joining us.

Watch some highlights from the 2023 Science Festival here:

No advanced booking is necessary and all events are free. Some activities will be ticketed - these will be available on the day on a first come, first served basis to help manage seating.

A wide variety of food and drink will be available to purchase from campus outlets throughout the day.
