Expressions of Interest for 2026 have now closed.

Norwich Science Festival returns to the city next year, from Saturday 14 - Saturday 21 February 2026!

Presented by The Forum, Norwich Science Festival is a celebration of science and technology - showcasing the ground-breaking research and innovation associated with the city. The Festival takes place in Norwich over eight days in the February half term, with events taking place at venues all over the city, and the heart of the activity here at The Forum.

Every year, we look for submissions for a range of events at the Festival - including everything from performances, stage shows, talks, workshops and immersive experiences!

Expressions of Interest for Norwich Science Festival 2026 have now closed.

If you have an idea you would like to discuss for future Festivals, please contact the Festival Producer, Claire Mutimer:

Please note that filling in the Expressions of Interest is not a contract and does not commit you to being part of the Festival. We are not able to take every submission forward, and as a small team, we may not be able to contact you if you have not been successful on this occasion.

We may also contact you to find out more about your idea before making a final decision about the suitability for Norwich Science Festival 2026. Thank you for your interest in being part of NSF!
