About Liverpool

This year's Festival will be 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 be sure to expect an explosion of science in the heart of Liverpool as for one week only, in a unique twist, science and culture collide, as the Capital of Culture becomes the City of Science.
