We’re back, and eager to see you this autumn at Oxford’s science and ideas Festival. With over 100 events and activities, there’s plenty to pick from, for you, your family, and friends to explore.

From thought-provoking talks and captivating performances to engaging tours and family-friendly zones, the Festival once again offers something for everyone. Try hands-on activities in central Oxford or venture out to places where cutting-edge discoveries and inventions are made.

Arts, performance and conversations

This year’s line-up should inspire and surprise you, featuring real-time research from world-leading scientists alongside creative professionals. You could experience optical illusions across Oxfordshire, dive into the mysteries of the brain, and share a few laughs—while making new connections along the way.

With evenings dedicated to teens and adults, and exciting events for all ages, the Festival is a perfect opportunity to gather together. Maybe even make new friends while exploring everything from tiny particles to the world’s biggest challenges.
