Afraid of being surrounded by screaming kids at the Science Museum? Fear no more! Tonight, we are visiting the Science Museum thanks to the adult only evening.
There is so much to see and do, from featured exhibitions like Cancer Revolution, Our Future Planet, Stephen Hawking at Work, to Wonder Lab, the new Mathematics Gallery or even a dance at the Silent Disco, the choice is yours.
Entry to the museum is free, but you do need to book a ticket. For Cancer Revolution (free) and Wonder Lab (£5), you also need to book an event ticket separately. Booking early is recommended to avoid sell-out near the time. Click here to book your ticket, book the 19:15pm slot for the museum entry and 19:30pm for the exhibition.
Pre-museum meet up: meet for picnic from 6pm at the steps of Albert Memorial (weather permitting), Kensington Gardens (opposite the Royal Albert Hall).
A WhatsApp group for participants has been setup for easier communication on the day. If you wish to be on it, please email SWCsocialATgmailDOTcom with your mobile number.
Our Future Planet - This exhibition showcases the cutting-edge technology and nature-based solutions being developed to trap carbon dioxide released by human activity, notably the burning of fossil fuels. These include preserving ancient woodlands, adding dust to agricultural fields, capturing carbon dioxide from the air or installing systems that prevent it leaving power stations and factories.
Cancer Revolution: Science, Innovation and Hope - From busting myths about the causes of cancer, to exploring how the latest science is advancing cancer care today, this exhibition shows the incredible progress we have made in understanding this disease and highlights the important challenges that are still to be solved.

There are also some special events on the night to commemorate 50 years of Pride in London
4 spare tickets for Cancer Revolution are now available for 7:30pm. If you are having trouble booking this exhibition, please email (address in the post). first come first served.
Eleven came for picnic. We met another in the queue at the Science Museum, so n=12. Lots and lots going on inside the museum: We learnt about cancer treatment from using Mustard gas in early days to immuno-therapy like Checkpoint inhibitors that teach our own immune cells to fight cancer, to new technologies like CAR-T and gene editing, we certainly come a long way in our search for a cure. Some went to see Our Future Planet and learnt about promising technologies behind carbon dioxide trapping - although some of us wondered how much a net reduction in carbon can be achieved using these. Then there was Stephen Hawkins first voice box, Da Vinci surgical robot, Allen Turing's first computer... but the highlight of the night was the Silent Disco which attracted several to stay almost till close. A small group then went for a drink at Carluccio's near the South Ken station. A nice evening out, it certainly brought out our curiosities for the world, and that we are all, to some extent, a scientist at heart.
