Science Cafes are an informal opportunity to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Rather than a long lecture, you can expect a lively, two-way conversation with a researcher - over a drink or two!
Everyone is welcome to come and express their views or just enjoy a drink and listen. No scientific knowledge is needed to take part - just bring your curiosity, and maybe your own bottle of choice.
A selection of light refreshments will be available in return for a donation on the night, or you are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks with you.

They could rap, sing, present, perform a demo or tell a story. No powerpoint allowed, just them and something they were passionate about. Jon picked his favourite, which was streamed live at the online Festival of Tomorrow in 2021.
