More about the British Science Festival

The British Science Festival is one of Europe’s longest-established science festivals, which travels to a different part of the UK each year. It brings science to the wider public in the form of installations, exhibitions, talks, panel discussions, performances and more. 

The festival will be held in Liverpool between Wednesday 10 and Sunday 14 September 2025, with events due to take place in venues across the city.

The programme will feature roughly 100 free events, exhibitions, performances and installations that celebrate the people, stories and ideas at the heart of science.
