Discover powerful partnerships

Norwich Science Festival is an award-winning celebration of science, technology and innovation, presented by The Forum and Principal Partner, the University of East Anglia.

Taking place across the February half term, the Festival welcomed more than 90,000 visits in 2026, delivered 290+ events in eight days, and collaborated with 58 partner organisations.

In 2026, the Festival celebrated its 10th birthday alongside the 25th anniversary of The Forum - making this an exciting moment to support the next chapter of the Festival’s story.

Your sponsorship could support a wide range of Festival activity, from inspiring talks and live shows, to hands-on experiences in The Explorium and learning opportunities for schools.

As a registered charity, The Forum receives no regular public funding. Support from sponsors and partners helps us keep the Festival accessible and affordable for audiences across Norwich and Norfolk. In 2026, more than 35% of Festival events were free to attend, and more than 14% of our programme was low cost (£6 or under).
