The first weekend of this year’s Sidmouth Science Festival was 'a huge success', according to organisers.
The festival began on Friday, October 6, followed by Super Science Saturday which featured events at venues around the town.
Liz Bramley from the Science Festival team said: "The venues were buzzing with everyone eager to try things out, and many of the 'make and take' activities ran out before the end of the day.
“It was great to see so many youngsters getting really involved in what they were doing. We definitely created some curiosity to explore how things around us work. Many went home with their backpacks full!
"We are very grateful to all the volunteers who work so hard to keep this festival evolving.”
There is still plenty more to do and see, including a talk on Stonehenge on Wednesday 11, a history walk around the Norman Lockyer Observatory on Thursday and a geology walk on Friday.
A Robot Workshop and Biodiversity Day takes place on Saturday (October 14) followed by the final event at the Norman Lockyer Observatory (admission charges apply) on Sunday where the now traditional Jet Car races take place.
