Celebrate Science Programme 2022 [PDF, 2MB]
Our annual three-day Celebrate Science festival celebrates Durham University’s latest research with our local community which brings together a wide range of fun and fascinating science-themed activities for the whole family within a marquee.
Children are invited to create inventions and take part in activities including investigations of animal skulls, magnetism, and optical illusions, with university experts on hand to answer any queries. You can even relax and soak up the atmosphere in the Yum Café, which will be offering light refreshments within the Celebrate Science Marquee.
This year, there will be representation from departments across the University and external partners including Procter & Gamble, Beamish Museum, and Locomotion.
You can find us in the Celebrate Science marquee on Palace Green, the heart of Durham's World Heritage Site, on 25 - 27 October.
Free entry for all
A host of free activities will also be taking place at Durham University's visitor attractions across the City including the Palace Green Library and Oriental Museum throughout the festival and half term week.
