Big Bang Fair 2026

The Big Bang Fair 2026 will run from June 9–11, 2026 at the NEC Birmingham, UK, welcoming school groups for free. It is specifically designed for UK state-funded schools with students in Years 6–8 (England/Wales), P7–S2 (Scotland), and Years 7–9 (Northern Ireland).

The event features interactive workshops, experiments, and live shows on the Big Bang Stage, including the popular Guess Who? sessions that challenge stereotypes about STEM careers. Students can meet scientists, engineers, and technicians, ask questions, and explore innovations in sustainability, healthcare, and technology. Careers panels and free classroom resources are also available to extend learning beyond the event.

Schools can book either morning sessions (9am–12pm) or afternoon sessions (1pm–4pm), with group sizes limited to 100 people including adults. Registration is open now, and tickets are free of charge.
