2018 Hull Science Festival – your chance to get involved

The Hull Science Festival is fast approaching and we want you to get involved.

This year, the festival will be held on Saturday, September 15th - immediately after the British Science Festival.

The Hull Science Festival is an exciting and fun day out for the wider community. Its goal is to enthuse a young audience - those aged 16 and under - about science.

This year's event will complement the exciting programme on offer to an adult audience at the British Science Festival, which is being hosted by the University from 11-14 September.

We are very grateful to all our colleagues and partners who have supported the Hull Science Festival in previous years. We encourage you to join us in making this year's event bigger and better than ever.

The Hull Science Festival is a great way to showcase your subject and expertise to the students of tomorrow and be part of an event that grows in popularity every year.
