Manchester Science Festival begins in earnest on October 22nd and we managed to grab a minute or two with the festival's understandably busy director Natalie Ireland. Read on to find out what's in store for audiences at the festival;What is Manchester Science Festival all about?
It’s a chance for people to have a great time exploring science. The Festival is full of brilliant events from comedy and music to hands-on science and installations. You could learn something new, be inspired by the beauty of our World, make a robot, question a
scientist… there’s lots going on for families and adults across the nine days of the Festival, and there’s bound to be an event near you. And many events are free!What are you particularly looking forward to in the festival this year?
There’s a few things that I’m really looking forward to. Polar will be beautiful – music and film from the polar regions – it will be a nice chance for me to sit back and relax for an hour! Out of this World will also be a really fun night for adults – we’ve curated a space themed evening full of comedy, local research, knitting and a space/time machine – a bit of an experiment, but it will be great fun. Families have
got some brilliant opportunities to explore the latest science and universities and get up close with real, hands-on science. It’ll be great fun.If you could bring one scientist from history to the festival, who would you like to invite and why?
It would have to be Charles Darwin. I would get him to tell us about his adventures and how he developed his theory of evolution. Then I’d like to go on an adventure round the World with him and learn more about our natural environment.
