NEW FOR 2026! HAWKING BUILDING SERIES

We’ve teamed up with the Science Museum Group’s Science and Innovation Park at Wroughton for a special series of hybrid events in their new Hawking Building, which houses around 300,000 objects from the Science Museum Group’s collections.
Join experts to explore topics including the return to the moon & the new competition to dominate space; cellular agriculture and the foods of tomorrow; the future of home assistance robots – and even Eurovision and the future of broadcast entertainment.
We’ll be joined by special online guests taking us behind the scenes in labs, galleries and more – along with the chance to join specially curated tours of the Science Museum collections in the new Hawking Building.
Book now to attend in-person, or join live online.
