SCIENCE MARKET
LOCATION Field
Within the castle walls, but out on the field, a world opens up for you! Because alongside the music stage and food trucks, there's plenty to see and experience. You can taste, look, feel, smell and participate, all with a science link, of course. Various organisations will be presenting themselves. further information
