In terms of public events, there’ll be live family science shows on 13th and 14th November at Cork’s Marina Market where you can learn about the ‘Science of Bubbles’ with Scientific Sue and ‘The Science of Dragons’ with a show looking at the science of fire and flight, inspired by the Cressida Cowell books ‘How to Train Your Dragon’. Tickets for these events can be booked now via the Cork Science Festival WEBSITE.
There’s lots to choose from, but highlights of Cork Science Festival include:
- Explorers CSI – Squid Science Investigations, 6 Nov
- The Fantastic Dna Virtual Workshop for kids 10+ (with kits pre delivered to those who registered to receive these in advance), 6 Nov.

And it wouldn’t be a Cork science event without an appearance from one of the county’s most beloved science lovers, Toy Show star Adam King who’s an official festival ambassador this year.
