Impressions Gallery

This year we are excited to present Plastic Lab a hub of activity as part of the Bradford Science Festival. Come and discover how plastic is affecting our planet, and what you can do to help care for the environment. Central to Plastic Lab is the exhibition Our Plastic Ocean, which explores marine plastic debris through powerful, captivating photographs. There is also loads of fun creative workshops to explore throughout the weekend.
