New Scientist Live was launched in 2016 and has cemented its place in the science calendar as the world’s greatest festival of ideas and discoveries. It's featured talks from the biggest names in British science such as Tim Peake, Hannah Fry, Alice Roberts and Jim Al-Khalili. You will also find a wealth of exhibitors every year, showcasing everything from VR rollercoasters to the mysterious world of parasites. Every year the audience is full of passionate science fans, but in recent times New Scientist has offered free places to those from disadvantaged backgrounds, so we can truly live our mantra that science is for everyone.
