The Manchester Science Festival took place last week, and the IOP contributed through its Science Butlers, Physics Busking and by having a stall throughout the week.
I was up there on Saturday to man the IOP stall at Arndale Market. The stall was quite curiously located between a nail studio, an afro-hair salon and an Indian head massage place. Despite my initial concerns that not many people might come my way, I'd run out of freebees within ten minutes. Lot's of shoppers were curious to find a physics stall and came up to find out more, sparking many conversations about physics and physics education.

Manchester Science Festival were great..
I love physics but like most people it baffles the life out of me, some stuff I get and other stuff is just mind blowing, I find it hard to believe that people can actually know about half the stuff they claim, I missed this science festival but if their is any more could you please let me know, I am located in Manchester so I am disappointed I missed the last one.
kind regards
