Festival of Science and Curiosity 2026: The Sensory Adventure at Keyworth Library

Through hands-on activities including mystery touch boxes, optical illusions, scent jars, and animal sound games, children will discover how their skin, eyes, nose and ears send messages to the brain. Using a take-home brain map, they will learn which parts of the brain help us feel, see, smell and hear.

There are three sessions:

• 11am (fully booked)
• 1pm

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 -20th 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.
