Welcome to the BA Festival of Science

One of Europe's largest science festivals visited Liverpool, European Capital of Culture '08, from 6 - 11 September.

Our week long, jam- packed programme offers the biggest celebration of science, engineering and technology in Europe. With loads of events for everyone, thousands of people joined us in and around Liverpool for talks, plays, debates, hands- on activities and more. Find out about the science of superheroes, which Beatles memory is most magical and what happens when science and culture collide.

And with another year over...
