A festival aimed at spreading a love of science and learning has been hailed as a success by organisers and those joining its events.

Hundreds of people have been attending sessions aimed at all ages as the first Super Science Sunday event took place at the Science Oxford Centre last Sunday.

Organised by Science Oxford and IF Oxford, hundreds of families and the community from Wood Farm have been offered the chance to meet scientists, presenters, publishers – and enjoy time in the Science Oxford Centre with its hands-on activities and acres of woodland.
