Subatomic Circus

In 2021, Cardiff Science Festival is bringing you more science fun at our Subatomic Circus on August 18th

Come and discover family friendly science activities and street entertainment around Cathays Park, for one day only. Things on the subatomic scale don’t behave as you would expect. Events pop up and disappear like electrons. You may come across some local scientists and engineers out in the open, a herd of wild hula hoopers or participate in an impromptu field study. Expect the unexpected as you are invited to wander and enjoy mind-expanding interactions and family fun throughout the site.

This free, family friendly, one day festival will take place on the 18th August, with three bookable time slots throughout the day. To book tickets, click the button below.

TICKETS AVAILABLE FROM 5TH JULY
