This event is part of Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity (FOSAC), produced by local education charity Ignite!, in collaboration with a wide range of partners across Nottinghamshire. This year, the event runs from 9th -20st February 2026.

Each year FOSAC invites the people of Nottinghamshire to explore, experiment and examine; to be curious, to ask questions, and to seek answers about the world around us, and this year is no different! We have lots of free events, including drop-in and ticketed sessions, happening across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Find out more via the Festival of Science and Curisoty website.
