Thanks for Playing ▶️

Cheltenham Science Festival 2026 has come to a close and what a week it was.

For six days, Cheltenham became a playground for curious minds, bringing together scientists, thinkers, storytellers and explorers to share the breakthroughs, questions and discoveries shaping our lives today and tomorrow.

From hands-on experiences in the Interactive Zones to inspiring talks, unforgettable performances and the UK Final of FameLab, thousands of people joined us to celebrate the joy of curiosity.

Each Festival includes events especially for schools and home educators, with plenty to discover for children of all ages.
