Explorium Lates

It’s the Festival’s 10th anniversary, and we’re staying up late to celebrate!

For the first time ever, The Explorium is open after hours – and it’s just for the grown ups (18+)!

You’ll get the chance to play, experiment and get stuck into a variety of hands-on science activities throughout the night. Visit the Microbe Zoo in The Gallery and immerse yourself in the teeny, tiny world of microorganisms, or release your inner child in a dazzling bubble show exploring surface tension, light refraction and gas diffusion.

Plus, enjoy a trio of fantastic talks downstairs in the Auditorium. Explore the ethics and science behind cloning with Professor Ben Garrod, dive into how AI is reshaping pop culture, and uncover the hidden biases coded in the algorithms we trust.

So, gather your friends, grab a drink from the bar and don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore The Explorium after dark!

Your ticket includes one free drink!
