We’re delighted to announce we are one of the livestream venues for this year’s CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution. Running for 200 years, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES were started by Michael Faraday to inspire and engage young people with science, and this year leading space scientist Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock as she takes us on an epic voyage through time and space.

This event is perfect for all the family! Children and people of all ages can come and watch the magic of the Lectures unfold in real time as they’re filmed in front of an audience in the Ri’s Theatre in London. They’ll have the chance to get involved with hands-on activities and be amazed by the mysteries of the Universe.

Joined by a host of very special guests – from astronauts to history-making astronomers – Maggie will explore the extraordinary breakthroughs that have revolutionised our understanding of the universe, enabling us to see ever further into space, and ever further back in time. 

Lectures begin at 6pm, please arrive by 5.30pm to allow time to be seated. 

Free event, but booking is essential and can be done in person at Carnegie Library, by calling 01292 286 385.
