Swansea University Presents:

Swansea Science Festival

2021

22nd – 30th October

Swansea Science Festival Icon

Welcome to the Swansea Science Festival, the largest festival of its kind in Wales!

We are back with some special guests and a wide range of shows, talks, workshops and tours - live in person and online, there is something for everyone to enjoy! Book your place and join us as we take your minds on a journey of discovery. We’ve got big bangs from Brainiacs Live and The Royal Institution, as well as ridiculous and shocking demonstrations, hacks and myth busting from Stefan Gates.

We'll also be discovering a world of bio-materials and exploring what it would be like to have coffee cups made of coffee, chairs made of mushrooms, or even to be able to eat your water bottle! Join us for these and lots, lots more!

Over 30 events, both in person and online

Brainiac Detective Academy
Royal Institute
Weirdology
The Cloud Factory
