Eureka! Grand Discoveries Makes A Brilliant Comeback To Grand Arcade This Summer
GUEST POST
Grand Arcade has announced the return of its award-winning summer science exhibition, Grand Discoveries. Back by popular demand and set to inspire once again during the 2025 summer holidays, the two-month-long event has 20 organisations set to take part across science and technology sectors.
Running from July to September, Grand Discoveries will transform the heart of Cambridge into a dynamic, interactive space dedicated to scientific innovation and discovery. This free, multi-experience event invites visitors of all ages to explore Cambridge’s rich legacy of scientific achievement through immersive exhibitions, hands-on STEM workshops, and city trail maps connecting the Grand Arcade with nearby historical landmarks.
Following 2023’s record-breaking success — with over 2.2 million visitors to the centre and 15,000 attendees at the dedicated Science Pop-Up — the 2025 edition promises to be even bigger. This year’s lineup includes major contributors Alzheimer’s Research UK, BIOS Health, bit.bio, British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge Applied Research, Cambridge Science Centre, Cambridge Festival, Cambridge University, Artist Sheefali Asija, Cambridge University Libraries, Cellestial Health, Illumina, Institute of Astronomy, Orca Scan, Qualcomm Technologies International, Ltd., Raspberry Pi, Snapdragon, Supersense Technologies, SuperSharp, The Gurdon Institute, and The Polar Museum.
Families will be able to enjoy a number of workshop opportunities, while leading science and technology companies and institutions will be exhibiting throughout the two months.

Julie Kervadec, Marketing Manager of Grand Arcade, shared: “Grand Discoveries is more than just an event – it’s a celebration of Cambridge’s DNA. We’re proud to unite global science leaders, local innovators, and curious minds in the centre of one of the world’s most iconic university cities. We invite everyone to be part of the discovery this summer. Whether you’re a family looking for free, enriching activities, a tourist exploring the city, or curious about the next big innovation, Grand Discoveries will offer a unique experience that celebrates learning, creativity, and the spirit of exploration.”
The two-month campaign will conclude on 25 September with an exclusive, invite-only panel discussion hosted by Cambridge Applied Research at Everyman, where professionals from across the field will join to network and delve into AI and the new frontier of discovery.
