The Oxfordshire Science Festival

The Oxfordshire Science Festival is where hands and minds can get busy exploring, debating, experiencing and discussing science at the many events held across the county each year.

In 2009 the festival will run from 28 February, when we kick off with a Science in Your World Launch event, through to the 15 March.

Check out our launch event on the 6th March in Broad St. Learn more
