34 reviewsExplore Week is new for Light Up Lancaster 2024. A week of free activities, family friendly engagement and participation with fun and exciting sessions, discovering the art of science and leading up to the main festival.
In conjunction with artists, creative technologists and arts companies, a range of researchers and academics from Lancaster University, Explore Week will reveal fascinating insights and learning about light, art and science.
Explore will have a comprehensive schedule of lively, hands-on activities. During Explore Week, visitors can send a letter to space, experiment with science and gadgets and discover what might have the potential to provide low-cost solar electricity in the future. And on the subject of creating a happier, healthier planet, FoodFutures and Closing Loops are inviting visitors to help create a Planet Promises Wall, which will be lit up in Market Square during the festival.
