FOCAS FEST is back again in 2026 at the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary in Sandown, Isle of Wight!
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 exhibitors and activities 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.
