Word on the field
“Walking into Jodrell Bank, I was teleported into another world; a world where science fiction characters had all got together for one big party.”
“My favourite part was just listening to the live music whilst occasionally glimpsing up at the gigantic Jodrell Observatory just beside it — it's truly breathtaking in size and engineering.”
“You can soothe your Sunday hangover with a 10am lecture about dark matter.”
