Celebrate science and the arts this summer

 

Like the idea of exploring trailblazing ideas, people and communities that are all changing the world? This weekend of free events is available to all ages, celebrating science and the arts. 


South Ken’s Exhibition Road will be transformed into a huge festival, dedicated to all things extraordinary. You’ll get to take part in hands-on workshops, fascinating talks, performances and installations from iconic museums, and research and cultural organisations – including Imperial College London, the Natural History Museum, Royal College of Music, Science Museum, V&A, Natural History Museum and more.


Whether you feel like making a bee-friendly seed ball, creating a mini earthquake, extracting a strawberry’s DNA, or building a musical instrument, there are plenty of family-friendly activities to check out. These will run alongside talks covering everything from how gaming and augmented reality could change the future of sports to the search for ancient life on Mars. 


When you aren’t meeting the experts making the world greener, joining fashion surgery for old clothes or going back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the earth, you can get stuck into amazing entertainment. This includes tasting food from all over the world, swaying to performances from the Royal College of Music and Royal Albert Hall on the Main stage or joining in with interactive storytelling sessions, quizzes, and demonstrations at the Family stage.
