For its tenth anniversary, Manchester Science Festival has set out to prove that birthday parties aren’t just for kids. Part of this year’s Science After Dark strand, this adults-only evening celebration delves into such entertaining oddities as the maths behind cake cutting, the psychology of clowns and the fluid dynamics of chocolate fountains – but never fear, you’ll get to taste as well as contemplate.
