Chelmsford Science Festival 2023 logo

Join us on our Chelmsford campus for our hugely popular Family Science Days. Expect a jam-packed day of hands-on, interactive science activities suitable for all ages.

Please only book for one day to allow as many families as possible to get involved. Most activities will run on both days.

SEN hour tickets grant entry for the whole day, so no need to book additional tickets if you wish to stay longer.
