Daresbury Open Week

Sci-Tech Daresbury Open Week happens once every 4 years and is a unique opportunity for schools to visit the innovative and inspiring Daresbury Laboratory in the North West of England!

Daresbury Laboratory is 1 of 3 research council run national laboratories where children will come face to face with our staff including real scientists, engineers and technicians working in cutting edge facilities while experiencing world leading science and technology.

The last event provided unparalleled access for 1000 students who were wowed by ‘behind the scenes’ tours, talks and workshops, and mesmerised by the diversity of activities in the hands on science fair. This year 1,450 pupil places have been made available with inspiring themed activities for children in key stage 2, key stage 3, key stage 4 and key stage 5.
