What is it?

Our wonderfully skilled presenters use simple science tricks to engage and excite small groups of people as they move throughout a festival venue, contributing hugely to the buzz of the festival or event. Science busking can work almost anywhere and provide great publicity for your event.

The great strength of science busking is its ability to engage people in science on a small scale and interpersonal level. We find ev­eryone we talk to, be they 4 or 84 years old, is delighted by our interactive demonstrations and their real life applications.

Wetland Science Busking

Engage small groups of the public at your event with biology and the environment with our latest busking venture. Our wetland busking includes mud, water and surface tension, buoyancy, and species adaptations and invites your visitors to test out their own set of wings, escape from quicksand and discover the pond creature that’s jet-powered! Suitable for any indoor or outdoor venue, it would particularly compliment events at wildlife centres, nature reserves or any event with a focus on the wetland environment, biology or wildlife.
