Public Engagement

Festivals

For those looking to see research in action, you can get involved with our upcoming festivals! We support the University’s engagement with a range of local and national festivals, and advertise upcoming opportunities and events in our monthly newsletter. Whether you’re interested in bringing local history to life, or kicking back with a pint to listen to an expert scientist, there’s something for all ages to enjoy. Check out some of our past activities below, and see what’s coming up in the South West later this year.
