EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE FESTIVAL Spring science spectacular returns for its 30th edition
With Easter falling a little earlier in 2018, this year’s Edinburgh International Science Festival sneaks into the end of March. And it’s going to be a big one, as the festival celebrates its 30th birthday. We can’t divulge all the details yet, but for now we can tell you to expect a couple of literary anniversaries, the return of regular foodie i xture GastroFest and, of course, a packed programme of family activities at the City Art Centre. Expect insights on everything from language to genetics, to green living and the science of death. Plus, the excellent Mini Maker Faire returns to Summerhall for the i nal day of the festival. Look out for the full programme announcement on Wednesday 7 February. (Yasmin Sulaiman) ■ Various venues, Edinburgh, Sat 31 Mar–Sun 15 Apr.
