ORGANISERS of the Amazed by Science festival have announced the final event programme for their free science festival, happening across Cheshire and Warrington between Saturday May 24 to Sunday June 1.
The festival aims to make science fun and exciting for children and their parents, with a focus on attracting young people to the wide range of careers in the field of science and technology.
The programme includes a spectacular live science show with Air Products at Crewe Lyceum, a strand of bee trails and bee-keeping demonstrations at several venues including Norton Priory, an ‘Amazed By Maths’ coding event sponsored by MBNA at Chester Racecourse for budding digital masterminds; and a chance to meet an astronomer in your lunch time at Jodrell Bank.
To find out more about the free events available, parents are being asked to sign up for alerts and information on the website at www.amazedbyscience.com
The festival has attracted sponsorship from several big names from the science community including headline sponsor Siemens and science and technology companies such as Urenco, The National Nuclear Laboratory, Waters Corporation, Sellafield Ltd, Peel Environmental, Atkins, C-Tech Innovation and the Cheshire and Warrington Enterprise Partnership.
Katrina Michel, chief executive of Marketing Cheshire and a founding partner of the Amazed By Science festival, said: “This brand new science festival is a fantastic opportunity for families to experience hands-on fun whilst learning more about science and technology over the half term holiday.
“Cheshire is an incredibly science-rich destination and the event programme gives us an ideal opportunity to showcase what’s happening here, with the help of our venues and sponsors. All festival events are free to attend and what better way to spend time with the family than at a whole list of fantastic attractions across the region.”
Venues involved in the festival include Jodrell Bank, Norton Priory, Daresbury Science Park, Fiddler’s Ferry Power Station, Warrington Museum, Tatton Park, Orford Park and Warrington, Lymm, Penketh, Woolston and Stockton Heath libraries.
