Dear Dom,

 

My understanding when I attended a UK Science Festivals (Managers )Network
meeting earlier this year, was that the list the group were collating was to
list 'all' UK science festivals.  

 

Given that the British Science Association is publicly-funded I would expect
promotion of all UK science festivals to be within their remit with a web
page like that that -- not just those who have signed up for your managers
network.

 

If it's the case that all those who are not part of the managers network are
excluded, we'll focus on those outside the network with the
uksciencefestivals.com website, which will be published in early December.

 

Feel free to email me off list if you wish to discuss further.

 

Best,

 

 

Wynn

Hi Sarah

 

Good timing!

 

All the lists that have been mentioned are useful, but as has been noted,
these lists tend to go out of date quite quickly. So... 

 

...the UK Science Festivals Network (which I help co-ordinate) is about to
launch a web page which will list all the Festivals who are part of the
network. It will be updated by the people involved, and so it should stay up
to date relatively effectively... It's going to be hosted by the British
Science Association on their super duper new website. It was only finalised
at a meeting on Monday which is why we haven't shouted about it yet.

 

Once it's up (i.e. imminently) we'll let everyone know the url, and how they
can get their festival on there.

 

In the meantime, the pages that have been mentioned are a good start, and if
you want to know more about the UK Science Festivals Network then by all
means give me a shout.

 

Cheers

 

Dom

The British Council has a list for Sci Fests at home - though at first
glance there are a few that are missing:

Dear all,

 

Does anyone keep an up-to-date list of Science festivals (UK, Europe,
international) on their website/Blog or know of anyone who does? 

 

Many thanks for any help.
