The 36th Orkney International Science Festival will return this year with another packed programme.

Over the years the festival has developed a distinctive feel, with family activities, music, and food and drink events amongst the varied talks by speakers.

2026's programme will see the usual eclectic mix of talks, walks, workshops, exhibitions and concerts. As always, some special settings will be included in the schedule too.
