Join us on Saturday, 15th November for Science at the Marina, a vibrant, family-friendly event in the heart of Cork City, proudly funded by Research Ireland. This unique celebration brings together scientists, artists, and curious minds of all ages for a joyful day of exploration, fun, and creativity.

Set against the backdrop of the popular Marina Market, the event is a true community experience, welcoming people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. With interactive games, hands-on experiments, competitions, workshops and so much more, there’s something to spark wonder in everyone, from toddlers to grandparents!

Meet scientists from across Cork City, County, and beyond, as they share the excitement of discovery in engaging and accessible ways. Don’t miss the chance to experience science through art with our artist-in-residence, Annie Forrester, who will be creating a special piece inspired by our scientific spirit.

For families who prefer a calmer environment, we’re offering a dedicated Quiet Hour; low-sensory experience for a gentler way to enjoy the day.

Whether you’re a science enthusiast or just looking for an inspiring day out, Science at the Marina promises to be a memorable adventure for all.
