Join us for Explorathon Saturday at the GDODF Festival Hub!
GDODF Festival Hub: Advanced Research Centre, 11 Chapel Lane, Glasgow, G11 6EW
Timings: 1200 - 1500 on Saturday 17 September - Drop In
Families, curious kids and festivalgoers of all ages are invited to spend Saturday 19 September at the GDODF Festival Hub at the ARC, University of Glasgow, for a day of hands-on discovery, activities and behind-the-scenes exploring.
From 12pm to 3pm, Explorathon will take over the atrium at the ARC with family-friendly activities and exhibits celebrating the inspiring research happening on your doorstep. From cutting-edge engineering to arts and humanities, it’s a chance for children and grown-ups alike to ask questions, try something new and see how research connects to everyday life.
There will be plenty more to enjoy at the ARC that day too. Small-group Researchers at Work tours will run at 12.15pm, 1pm and 1.45pm, giving visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the world-class research taking place inside the building.
In Studio 2, the Language Taster: Traditional Drinks & Recipes from Europe and Asia workshop will invite participants to explore food, drink, vocabulary and traditions from Italy, Portugal, Spain and China.
Outside in St Mungo Square, festivalgoers can pop on a cowboy hat and join free drop-in line dancing sessions from 12pm to 3pm — a fun, informal way to get moving between activities.
Explorathon Saturday is completely free to attend and drop in, with no booking required.
Some other ARC Festival Hub events taking place on Saturday 19 September are bookable, so visit the What’s On page of our website to plan your day.
