Kent Physics Centre

A series of public talks

Kent Physics Centre

The Kent Physics Centre runs a series of evening talks open to the public.  The talks are mostly physics and astronomy related, but sometimes we branch out into other science areas.  Everybody is welcome at the talks – they are free, and no specialist knowledge is assumed.  So if you are a science student, or just somebody interested in how things work, please come along, listen to the presentations, and meet like-minded people.

Talks are Tuesday evenings at 6.30pm in SIBSON Lecture Theatre 3 and run about once a month.  Sometimes we have local speakers, but more often than not we have a visiting speaker.

You can subscribe to our mailing list so you never miss an announcement about a talk.

Upcoming Talks

The 2025-26 season of talks has now finished.  We are breaking for summer and will return in October.  The first talk of the 2026-27 season will most likely be October 13th and continue on the second Tuesday of each month; this will be confirmed in due course.

We are currently creating the programme for the 2026-27 season.  Details will appear on the webpage as soon as we have them, and of course please subscribe to our mailing list so you never miss an update.   If you have any suggestions of topics or specific people you think we should feature next year, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

You can see our schedule of talks for the whole of the 2025-26 season here, and an archive of previous talks here.  You can also see summaries of past talks here, contributed by local students.
