About Liverpool

This year's Festival was hosted by the University of Liverpool with events running on campus and throughout the city.

Liverpool is fast becoming a city 'of culture, entertainment, sport' and is one of the UK's most up-and-coming cities.

With the streets adorned with restaurants, shops, bars and clubs, there is always something happening in this busy and vibrant city. From the Albert dock where footballers are known to party, to the buzzing city centre filled with museums, art galleries, parks and sport attractions, Liverpool offers endless opportunities for all ages.

The Northwest Science Council have played an important role in scienctific research, encouraging the region to think more innovatively, and helping to bring business, university and science partners together to promote England's Northwest as a world-class area for science.

It is no wonder Liverpool was chosen as the host city for this year's Festival of Science.

This September saw an explosion of science in the heart of Liverpool as for one week only, in a unique twist, science and culture collided, and the Capital of Culture became the City of Science.
