Become a Sponsor

Norwich Science Festival is an award-winning, city-wide celebration of science, technology and innovation, presented by The Forum and our partners across the city and the county.

Taking place in Norwich over the February half term, the Festival reached more than 75,000 visitors in 2025, delivered 230+ events in eight days, and worked with 45 partner organisations. The Festival's epic programme includes hands-on workshops, engaging family shows, plus talks, performances, comedy and careers events.

The Festival can only happen with the support of local organisations and businesses who kindly choose to support us. Your involvement would enable the Festival to ensure that science remains accessible during a time when the cost of living is so high. In 2025, more than 40% of our events were completely free to access, and more than 30% of our events were low cost (£6 or under).

Your sponsorship could support a whole range of Norwich Science Festival projects - from family events in half term, to adult talks and shows, to The Explorium at The Forum or the Learning Programme for schools. You might choose to sponsor a single event or a strand of activity, and as part of your package, you may also wish to engage directly with our visitors by exhibiting at the Festival!

In 2026, Norwich Science Festival will celebrate it's 10th birthday, alongside the 25th anniversary of The Forum - so it's a great time to partner with us as we approach this significant milestone in the Festival's history.
