Otley Science Festival returns to Otley Courthouse this November in a new split format. The November leg runs from Thursday 12 to Saturday 14 November 2026, with evening speakers, the festival Science Café and the ever-popular family Science Fair on the Saturday.

Founded in 2008 by BBC One Show scientist Marty Jopson and the Courthouse team, the festival then returns for a second leg in March 2027, during British Science Week, with its schools shows and the March Science Café.
