The Oxford Brookes Science Bazaar is a vibrant, flagship annual event that welcomes over 8,000 visitors annually for a day of discovery, creativity, and hands-on exploration.
Designed especially for children aged 5–12 and their families, the Science Bazaar is packed with hands-on activities, live demonstrations, workshops, and shows, all led by scientists, engineers, artists and students from Oxford Brookes University, as well as University of Oxford researchers.
Explore everything from tech and engineering to health, nature, and creativity, all under one roof. Whether your child loves explosions, inventions, animals, or art. There’s something to spark everyone’s imagination!
- Autism-Friendly Early Opening: From 9:30–11:30am, we offer a quieter, sensory-considerate experience for families who prefer a calmer environment.
- General admission runs from 11:30am–4:00pm.
