Our festival theme: Decadence

Decadence is a provocative word: luxurious, sensuous and self-indulgent, a celebration of the good things in life but redolent of moral and social decline.

This year at the Science Festival we’ll be exploring Decadence, and what it means to us — with events asking how and why science has given us the luxuries that we find difficult to sacrifice.

Read about our festival theme on our blog as our Science Festival Executive Director explains more…
