Wow you lucky thing, how will you decide what to go to. If I was a little nearer I would go to On Extinction. One of my favourite contemporary poets is Kenneth Steven now in Aberfeldy I wonder if he will be there. Enjoy whatever you chose.
What a lot of choices. Enjoy yourself!
I am always amazed at the ideas people think up especially children and a science festival sounds pretty cool!
Sounds wonderful :) and makes science fun and accessible to people.
Sounds fascinating!
Will there be a good sized crowd?
Cuby Poet - it will be a difficult decision!
Ms Sparrow - thanks, i will!
Christina - it is cool, always a good event!
Carol - it is!
Rabbit's Guy - most events get a large audience and the kids activity centre gets very busy!
