Pint of Science Festival brings researchers into local pubs, cafés, and community spaces to discuss their latest findings with the public in an accessible, informal setting.

The three-day annual festival has grown astronomically since its inception in 2013 and involves over 25 countries and nearly 500 cities around the world. In the UK alone there will be over 400 events across 45 cities.

Each night will provide a unique line up of talks, demonstrations and live experiments held in a relaxed and informal environment. Topics range from: the mysteries of the universe, how our bodies work, the latest in technology and climate studies, art and science, and impacts on society and policy - there is something for everyone.

This event is part of Third Space. Every Wednesday, we're opening New Street Market for free or low-cost events centering community and togetherness. We'll be hosting fun, thought-provoking, and social gatherings with a wide range of vibes. Get out of the house, leave work behind you, and join us for the night.
