Innovation Lates

Head to the Science Museum on the eve of the Great Exhibition Road Festival, for an adults-only, after-hours takeover of the museum—with live performances, hands-on experiences and unexpected encounters throughout the galleries! 

Arrive early to meet an ensemble of giant hand-crafted puppets created by Serendipity Arts and experience unexpected encounters with musicians on a spectacular journey through the galleries. 

Indulge your creativity with hands-on crafts, from embroidering a patch inspired by Space to mathematical printing, before following a trail of objects and stories and learn how innovation from India has shaped the way we live, work and understand the world. You can also discover the poetry of science and the curiously human side of innovation through storytelling and performance. 

All while soaking up the atmosphere, with DJ sets and pop-up bars! 

There are also a number of ticketed at Innovation Lates, which can be added to your basket and purchased alongside your free general admission ticket.
