Didsbury SciBar…

About Didsbury SciBar

Originally conceived in 2008 by the North West branch of the British Science Association, Didsbury SciBar has, since 2019, grown independently under the guidance of a dedicated group of volunteers with backgrounds in science, engineering and technology – people with the passion (and connections!) to invite top researchers to come and give an informal chat about their work.

Didsbury SciBar is now affiliated with the North West Science Alliance, a network of long‑established former BSA SciBars across North West England.

A SciBar is not a lecture; it’s a short, accessible talk between a guest speaker and the audience, followed by an open, interactive discussion that continues until the questions run out. We’ve been an inclusive and much‑loved part of The Albert Club’s monthly events calendar for over 15 years, and we’re open to everyone – you don’t need to be a club member to attend.

To stay up to date, join our mailing list or follow us on BlueSky or Facebook, or take a look at our FAQs.

Come along and banish those Monday blues: learn something new, enjoy a friendly chat and a drink, and – weather permitting – have a bowl on The Albert Club’s green. It’s more complex than you might imagine… there’s probably some science behind it!
