Monday 19 May - Wednesday 21 May 2025
Pint of Science Festival, Guildford
On 19-21 May 2025, the Pint of Science festival will simultaneously bring thousands of scientists and their research out of the lab and into pubs, cafes and places near you to share their scientific discoveries.
The three-day annual festival has grown astronomically since its inception in 2013 and the University of Surrey is pleased to be bringing you events taking place in Guildford.
Each night will provide a unique line up of talks in a relaxed and informal environment. Topics range from: the mysteries of the universe, how our bodies work, the latest in technology and climate studies, art and science, and impacts on society and policy - there is something for everyone. Each event costs £5.
Alongside the main talks, audience members will be able to take part in the largest ever multi-city pub quiz - in association with interactive quiz company, KwizzBit. Teams will tackle science-themed trivia and go head-to-head with other cities interactively, in the hope of claiming the top spot in their city and across the UK.
Pint of Science is a non-profit organisation organised by a grass-root community of thousands of volunteers from science, research and academia.
Grab a pint (or your favourite tipple) and join us this May!
from £5.00 to £5.00
Tickets are available from the Pint of Science website (pintofscience.co.uk), with each evening costing just £5.
