Bright Sparks Science

Bright Sparks Science Fun Science Parties, Holiday Camps, After School Clubs and Workshops for kids! We like to call it edu-tainment!

Welcome to the world of Bright Sparks Science, where we investigate, discover and entertain! Bright Sparks Science is a Community Interest Company (C.I.C) based in the South East of England, offering services in and around Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Our objective is to make the science curriculum fun, inspiring, and accessible to all. We endeavour to provide a range of science activities that can

be experienced by every child. The main way we do this is to offer free science shows to schools, alongside the opportunity to run an after-school science club and low cost curriculum linked workshops. Our sister company, Bright Sparks Events Limited, offer exciting science activities outside of the school curriculum, in the form of themed holidays clubs and science birthday parties. During this time, we combine STEAM subjects with captivating humour to make weekends and school holidays entertaining for children. All our employees have a passion for science and believe that inspiring even a single child is something to be proud of. Bright Sparks Scientists work together to make sure every child has a unique and memorable experience and aim to encourage adults to get involved too. Our Instructors come from a range of backgrounds, from teachers, student teachers, university students, and scientists, through to actors, and drama students. These varied backgrounds provide our kit development team with the unique capability of combining their feedback to improve our customer’s experience with new ideas and technology as it appears. Our activities are designed to inspire an interest in science within the school or organisation, using a mixture of highly interactive demonstrations and hands-on programmes. Our range of engaging science activities include after school clubs, in school workshops, birthday parties and holiday camps which will bring science to life before your very eyes! Please feel free to look into our science shows or hands-on party packages and if you need any further information, please contact one of our friendly staff members- We’re always happy to help!

As we leave 2025 we wanted to wish you all Happy New Year

Starting the year with science
And celebrating 80 years of Harwell
So if you live in South Oxfordshire you might be fortunate enough to see this

We hope everyone’s looking forward to celebrating the New Year tonight ✨

Just a little reminder that tomorrow night (New Year’s Day) from 5 – 9pm, the UK’s most powerful display laser will shine from the heart of the iconic , creating The Beam, a vertical pillar of light visible across the region. Weather permitting, it will reach up to 8km into the night sky.

So if you're in the area, whether you’re on your doorstep, at a favourite viewpoint along The Ridgeway, or watching from the rugby fields on campus, take a moment to look up 👀
