EVENTS

 

If we are to respond to some of the biggest challenges facing society, from climate change to growing pressures on our mental health, we need resourceful, creative and connected communities.

 

At Discovering42, we believe there is huge value in experimenting, making and learning by doing. Our events offer a chance to step away from screens and consumerism, and instead make things from scratch, build practical skills and discover new possibilities in discarded materials. Most importantly, we want to create a space where people can come together to share ideas and skills, learn from one another and turn their ideas into something impactful.

 

Join upcoming workshops and events at Discovering42. From creative making sessions and hands-on science workshops to talks and one-off experiences, there is always something different to discover. Browse what’s coming up and book your tickets below.

 

We also have our café space, where you can pop in for a coffee or try one of our unusual, chemistry-inspired Magic Mocktails. You are welcome to do some arting while you are there, bring along a sketchbook, craft project or anything else you are working on. Or simply find a comfy spot and curl up with something from our lovely collection of unusual science, art and sustainability books.
