Plan your visit

Most Norwich Science Festival events – including free events – must be booked in advance. Ticket income is used to cover the costs of bringing high profile shows and speakers to Norwich and to pay for other Festival events, which are free and open to all.

Access

We want your Festival experience to be enjoyable and accessible. Find out more about access at Festival venues, Essential Companion tickets and accessible events in the page below.

We have highlighted events that are specifically for family and SEND audiences. The majority of our talks are designed for adults and children over the age of 12, unless otherwise stated. See individual event listings on our website for detailed age recommendations where relevant.

Photography

Photography / filming will take place during many of the Festival events – please notify a Festival team member if you do not wish to be included. We will ask those who are clearly identifiable in photographs, or their guardians, to complete a consent form.
