🍺 Pint of Science 2025

We had a fantastic evening at the OGV Taproom in Newburgh, a small Aberdeenshire village that proudly hosted one of the UK’s most rural Pint of Science venues. While most of the 408+ events across 45 towns and cities took place in urban centres, Newburgh stood out — and proved that curiosity thrives just as strongly outside of big cities. Our team shared insights into the wonderful world of human perception. The audience got hands-on with a series of interactive demonstrations, including a range of classic visual illusions — with the highlight being our portable Beuchet Chair, which delighted attendees with its mind-bending effects on perceived body size and scale. The event sparked fascinating discussions between scientists and the public over a few pints. We are thrilled to have helped bring science closer to everyday life, in the most relaxed and memorable setting possible. Thanks to everyone who came along, asked great questions, and made the night such a success! Pint of Science UK
