Try something new, do something different!

An upbeat, energetic night out with loads of stuff to do. Listen to some music, have a laugh and take part in odd activities. Then grab some food in our café or a drink in the bar and share stories and meet new people.

For one night only, four times a year, we work with artists and scientists from the whole of the UK, from different walks of life and backgrounds to bring brilliant minds together.
