The 2024 Sidmouth Science Festival has ended!
Our ten day festival came to an end on 13 October with a busy and thrilling Family Fun day at Norman Lockyer Observatory.
Our purpose is to inform, inspire, promote and advance public education in scientific disciplines, showing how they impact on our everyday lives. Our annual festival has events suitable for all but in particular aim to attract those who would not normally engage with science subjects.
We have started work on the programme for the next festival which takes place from Friday 10 October to Sunday 19 October 2025. Put the dates in your calendar!
