Researchers explaining an activity to visitors

Every year we open the doors of the Department of Chemistry to budding scientists of all ages as part of the larger Cambridge Festival, offering hands-on activities and exciting and stimulating demonstration lectures. The Chemistry Open Day usually occurs on the second or third Saturday in March.

Next Open Day: Saturday 21 March 2026

We gratefully acknowledge the support of The Walters Kundert Charitable Trust which makes this event possible.
