Manchester Science Festival 10th Birthday Party at Science and Industry Museum, Manchester 27 October 2016 Entrance is free

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.
