University of Bristol's "Discover" event

4 March 2010

The University of Bristol's 'Discover' event, which runs from 11-13 March, is a free exhibition to celebrate its latest research. There are around 20 interactive exhibits covering all aspects of academia, featuring intriguing exhibits such as penguin ice sculptures and "the quietest sounds you'll ever hear".

It presents a great opportunity for the public to explore and physically engage with the university's work. The event takes place in two of Bristol's main shopping areas, The Mall in Broadmead and Cabot Circus, so should attract plenty of passing interest.
