Swansea’s Festival of Social Science

The Festival of Social Science is returning to Swansea for a third consecutive year, with an engaging programme of free events that celebrates the value and impact of social science in our daily lives.

From hands-on workshops and public talks to thought-provoking exhibitions and family-friendly activities, the festival invites everyone to explore how research is shaping society for the better.

Designed for all ages, it’s a chance to discover new ideas, develop skills, and take part in research-led events delivered by our academic community.

Full programme details coming soon.
