On Saturday the 22nd of March 2025, CHaOS will take over one of the chemistry labs at the University of Cambridge for a day of Crash, Bang, Squelch!

Come and see lots of exciting hands-on experiments from all areas of science! We’ll have around 50 different experiments, each of which will be demonstrated by a friendly student volunteer! This hands-on event will be open from 10am to 4pm, and is absolutely free.

Timed tickets will be available online in advance for priority entry, but you can still come along for drop-in entry throughout the day.

To add to the fun, there will be a series of talks in the lecture theatre, featuring some high-powered experiments that can’t be done in the hands-on lab!

Staggered entry at 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm and 2pm.
