Our Festivals of Chemistry date from the early 1990s. They have a long history of engaging learners with hands-on practical chemistry delivered at universities across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
Festivals 2022
Festivals 2022 introduce a three-stage, blended approach that includes both online elements and the reintroduction of in-person events hosted at universities in the United Kingdom.
Stage 1 – Explore Chemistry Careers

The content for this will be released in April 2022 at festivalsofchemistry.org for delivery in classrooms throughout April and May.
