Below is a small composite of a few moments from the 2019 Science Festival.
We had another really successful year with many sell out events and Saturday’s Science Fair packing out Otley Courthouse and spreading to other locations in Otley with our new “Fringe” events. Thanks to everyone who came to support us, all those who worked to enable the Festival to take place and, of course, our wonderful range of presenters.
Thanks also to the Wharfedale Observer for their coverage which you can read on these links:

Hundreds turn out for ‘amazing’ Otley Science Fair
But now planning for Otley Science Festival 2020 gets under way. Mark the dates:
See you there!
And more we couldn’t fit on the poster:
Get the details for everything on the Festival 2019 page and not forgetting the Science Fair on Saturday 16th, which also has its own page here
Everything is in place and tickets are selling well for the 2019 Science Festival: indeed some events are already sold out.
Our week of events cover from deep ocean to deep space, physics to food and include a café, a lunch and Saturday’s all day free fair, this year with added “fringe” events. Check out the details on the Festival 2019 page.
Meanwhile, here’s a quick look back at the September Science Café.
Clockwise from top left:
With the release of the Otley Courthouse autumn programme tickets are on sale for this year’s Science Festival.
Details for the Science Festival programme are included in the Courthouse programme booklet which you can pick up in the Courthouse and in other locations in the area. The list of events is on our web site here, along with the links to more details and Ticketsource for buying the tickets. We will be adding fuller details for all the events here shortly.
And if you can’t wait, our next Science Café is on Thursday September 26th. Again, details will follow shortly.
Preparations for the 2019 Science Festival Week are well under way and as a starter we are now able to publish the programme of daytime events for schools.
These sessions, designed for primary schools (home educators also welcome), run during the daytime on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the Science Festival week (November 12th, 13th, 14th).
This year we are delighted to have two people known from the BBC and beyond, Maddie Moate and Greg Foot, plus Live Science Presenter extraordinaire Jon Wood.
You can find all the details on our Schools page.
The warmer weather is here and with it our midsummer Science Cafe.
One timely topic of the evening’s trio is the science of staying safe in the water. Along side this we will discover what dirty teeth tell us about the past and the technology behind the famous (infamous?) Bitcoin: good for much more than just for a dodgy currency. An evening of useful and entertaining information!
Tickets are just £5 (under 18s free) so come and join us at 7.30pm on Thursday June 13th for another great evening. The full details are here on the Science Café page.
