Question 1

What is a SciBar?

Accepted Answer

A SciBar is literally science in a bar – an opportunity to hear a guest STEM academic, researcher, scientist or enthusiast talk about their specialist topic in an informal environment.

Question 2

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Anybody with a passing interest in the topic and there is no assumed knowledge of the subject. If you have a general interest in science, then a free Didsbury SciBar science event is a good place to learn a bit more, or to ask the questions you’ve always wanted answered.

Question 3

What's its about?

Accepted Answer

Our topics are fairly diverse and vary each month; from Artificial Intelligence to Zoology. If one month’s subject of discussion isn’t grabbing your interest, keep an eye on our events calendar as we’ll inevitably be discussing something totally different the following month.

Question 4

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Didsbury SciBar is FREE whether you attend in person or online thanks to the generosity of our speakers, organisers and our hosts at The Albert Club.

Question 5

Where is Didsbury SciBar?

Accepted Answer

Didsbury SciBar is hosted in the main bar at The Albert Club, 39-41 Old Lansdowne Road, West Didsbury, Manchester M20 2PA.

You can also pre-register via Eventbrite to participate online.

Question 6

There's on-site bike storage and limited free car parking.

Question 7

Do I need to be a member?

Accepted Answer

No - Didsbury SciBar is open to all. Just turn up. We are a laid back and welcoming bunch – there’s no membership or obligation. You do not need to be a member of The Albert Club to attend Didsbury SciBar.

Question 8

Who runs Didsbury SciBar?

Accepted Answer
