Once again we have secured 100 tickets exclusively for alumni and their families at Prof Wothers' 11am lecture 'Free Range Chemistry – No Added Chemicals' followed by a buffet lunch.

Why not stay for the department’s Open Day to explore hands-on activities, demonstrations and experiments such as liquid nitrogen ice cream and cornflour slime.

This is the perfect chance to welcome family to the department, try some fun chemistry, and have a blast.

Tickets for the event will be popular, so reserve your spot now and get ready for an unforgettable day of chemistry. Alumni may bring up to three guests, but please note this event is only suitable for children aged 8 and up and will feature loud bangs.

Reconnect, rediscover, and get ready for an electrifying day!
