FOCAS FEST is back again in 2024 after its successful debut last year!
The aim of FOCAS FEST (Focus on Conservation and Science Festival) is to help make science and conservation more accessible to all children, bringing both to life in a fun and imaginative way. With over 30 exhibitors over two days, children will be given the opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of wonder where they can connect to our natural world and see how science can have an immensely positive impact on the planet, and most importantly for them to understand ways they too can help save our planet.
There will be so much to explore…
• Step into the secret and scientific world of Gases, with liquid nitrogen and Co2 demos
• Explore the skies with telescopes
• Learn how to make a bug hotel, plant seagrass and make wool
• Explore the old and new worlds of dinosaurs and underwater robots
• Learn more about our natural world, hedgehogs, birds, bugs and bats
• Find out how you can help to save our planet, or rescue a dolphin
To ensure that ALL children have access to this incredible event, the Sanctuary is opening its doors and providing full access to the Sanctuary all for just £2.50 per person!
Sign up for the morning session, 9.30am - 1pm or afternoon session, 1.30pm - 5pm.
Booking for this event is online only. There is limited availability to book early to avoid disappointment.
This year FOCAS Fest is also part of the IOW's Biosphere Festival, celebrating all that the Island's Biosphere has to offer.
