A science festival has a radical role in developing a creative climate for a region. Here is the story of how it began, and how Orkney was involved from an early stage in the concept.

We’re working hard to keep our prices as low as we can, with all our online events free, and our schools events as well, and warmly thank you for donations that assist.
