SHELL YEAH! A Prawn Farm Challenge

Thursday, 03 September 2026 at 17:45

Join us for an interactive research gameshow experience, drawing on the work of the UK Sustainable King Prawn Project.

Event details

The year is 2061. AI Data centres hum around the clock and, in their shadows, unlikely neighbours have found their home; prawn farms!

Powered by waste data-centre heat, prawn farms are now providing the main protein source for the UK’s human populations. But running a prawn farm is no easy business. The country needs farmers who can grow stellar prawns while balancing regulations and environmental pressures. Do you have what it takes?

Step into our live, game-show-style experience and find out. Working in teams, you'll go head-to-head in a series of fun and lightly-educational challenges, bringing the research behind the UK Sustainable King Prawn Project to life.

This event will be taking place as part of Exeter's First Thursdays scheme, an evening of late-night shopping, speciality eats, talks, and performances on Exeter's popular Gandy Street on the First Thursday of each month. 

Whether you have an interest in sustainable farming, serious games, or would simply like to know more, you can book your free ticket via Eventbrite - SHELL YEAH! A Prawn Farm Challenge.
