Cheltenham Science Festival 2018: apply now
Submissions are now open to be a part of the festival which takes place from 5-10 June.
The Cheltenham Science Festival is a six-day celebration of science, jam-packed with thought-provoking discussions, energetic schools shows, hands-on workshops, mind-blowing performances and interactive exhibitions.
Submissions with fresh ideas are particularly welcome to create a varied and engaging programme covering a wide range of topics an themes. The team are keen to trial new format and inventive ways of exploring science, and to attract audiences who would not normally consider attending a science festival.
Individuals, groups or organisations can take part in events, use the interactive hands-on spaces or perform an activity in the town centre.
The deadlines for submissions are:
- schools programme - midday Monday 9 October
- main programme events (including adult and family events) - midday Monday 6 November
- interactive exhibits and town centre activities - midday Monday 20 November.
In 2017, the programme consisted of over 150 public events, 50 school events and a range of hands-on drop in spaces. They issued over 40,000 tickets, saw over 25,000 visits to free drop in spaces, and had over 7000 visits to free activities in the town centre.
