Celebrating the people, stories and ideas at the heart of science.

The British Science Festival is Europe’s longest standing science Festival, travelling to a different place in the United Kingdom each year. Our Festival aims to connect people with scientists, engineers, technologists and social scientists.

Each year, we bring an inspiring programme of free events to the public over four or five days, bursting with exciting opportunities to get involved in. Our talks, workshops and drop-in events span a diverse range of subjects that encompass science in the broadest sense, promising something for everyone.

The British Science Association and the University of East London (UEL) are pleased to announce that the British Science Festival in 2024 will take place in London across four days. The Festival will be held between Wednesday 11 – Sunday 15 September.
