Now in its fourth year, the festival will be delivered by Stirling Council alongside a growing list of local and national partners. Including Glasgow Science Festival, The Smith Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow Science Centre, University of Stirling, Forth Valley College, Codebase, NHS Forth Valley and Thistles Stirling.
This year’s festival will be even bigger and better thanks to the generous support of EventScotland’s National Events Programme. With a fantastic array of activities and events to inspire young and not so young minds. From ocean themed arts workshops and stargazing to testing out the plasticity of your brain with vision-shifting goggles. And a series of engaging science talks, there really is something for everyone.

On the last day of the festival there will be an action packed free family day at the Albert Halls. A partnership with the University of Stirling and Forth Valley College, who will host a range of engaging and inspiring hands-on table top activities and workshops.
And this year Stirling Science Festival is set to expand with the inclusion of more events targeted towards grown-ups. From engaging lectures and talks, including Edinburgh Neuroscience’s ‘Understanding the Brain and Mental Health’ to a spirited alchemy of cocktail making session.
