Event Guide

 

Welcome to the 2025 British Science Festival! The benefit of being a touring Festival is that every year we get to explore a different part of the UK and work with some incredible partners.

Working with both the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University has produced a vibrant and immersive programme of events and activities in some of the most iconic venues across the city.

From particle physics to health and life sciences, state-of-the art telescopes and the rise of AI, Liverpool is home to ground breaking science. What makes this year’s Festival feel particularly special is the connections we’ve made with organisations from across the city – far too many to mention here – who have helped bring the culture of Liverpool into the programme.

We’ve got live music, art installations, performances, comedy, mind-bending illusions – even a glam-rock, sci-fi, geology rave!

My thanks go to Astra Zeneca and Liverpool BID for their support across the Festival. Special thanks must also go to Culture Liverpool, National Museums Liverpool and the Liverpool Biennial for partnering with us to show that science, culture, and art are all part of the very bedrock of Liverpool.
