It’s an evening of science in the style of the great panel shows – think mixing Mock the Week, Spicks and Specks, and just a dash of QI.
Featuring Joel Gilmore, Alanta Colley, Alan Duffy, Claire Farrugia, Anna He, Tom Lang and Belinda Smith.

You are warmly invited to a conversation with Julian Burnside QC and author of The Balfour Correspondent, James Dryburgh.

Campfires and Science is a new and growing community of people who head outdoors, light a campfire, and share knowledge. We lead regular, free events in wild places to support scientific fieldwork and provide hands-on training in the research methods that help us to best protect the environment. Welcome to citizen science! Join us at our very first environmental DNA sampling event, where we’ll be teaching people how to gather samples and look for a critically endangered species of fish. We’ll also be inviting speakers around the campfire to share their knowledge.
