Something different to do this weekend - Imperial College London Festival


Recommended Posts

Just thought I'd share details of a science festival happening this weekend where I work - in case you're looking for something different to do or have any future scientists in your family!


* * * * *


Join us at Imperial College London's first public Festival, on Friday 11 ? Saturday 12 May, to celebrate the work and life of the College and discover what goes on behind the scenes. Bring your friends and family to enjoy hands-on research demonstrations, talks, music, comedy, dancing and art. The Festival is open to audiences of all ages and interests. Food and drink will be available throughout. All activities are free ? just drop in any time.


For the full programme, timings and location, visit www.imperial.ac.uk/festival


From forensics to robots, artwork to enterprise, the Festival has something for everyone, with a huge mix of performances, exhibitions, interactive exhibits, events and talks. Explore the best on offer from Imperial staff and students today ? immerse yourself in a surgical experience, meet soapbox scientists, analyse your fingerprints, and listen to live music. Highlights include:


* Queen's Lawn Marquee: Explore the Festival hub, which includes hands-on activities and research demonstrations featuring Imperial's departments, institutes and innovations. Displays include space missions, lasers and earthworms.

* SAF Building: Get up close and personal with the inside of an operating theatre, and try your hand at surgery with a pop-up anatomy lesson.

* Dancing in the street: Join Imperial student societies for everything from belly dancing to tango, throw some shapes at the silent disco, and keep your eyes peeled for a skateboarding Isaac Newton and mechanical dragon.

* Queen's Tower Music Stage: From acappella to a gramophone DJ, tap your toe to some of the best music from Imperial and beyond.

Sounds fantastic....for future planning could you consider a Sunday instead of a Friday as kids at school and Sats tend to be busy....Although do understand there are grown ups interested ad well!

    • My front gate has expired! Does anyone have an unwanted one - ideally wrought iron? Many thanks. 
    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
