Loving Maggots!

Loving Maggots! is on at the National Waterfront Museum on Friday 30 October at 3.30pm. It's a science activity for visitors, and it's free to attend. The session is part of the Swansea Science Festival 2026, which runs across the museum and is billed as a weekend of making, exploring and discovering science.

Across the festival, tickets for some sessions start at £1 per person, alongside a huge programme of free exhibitions and activities. The line-up brings in names like CBeebies presenter Grace and Swansea University psychologist Dr Alex Jones, and there are hands-on workshops to get stuck into, like making bath bombs. Loving Maggots! is one of those free slots, so it's a good way to get a taste of the festival without spending a penny.

One thing to keep in mind: this particular session is fully booked. If you've already got your spot, you're set for 3.30pm on the Friday. If not, it's worth checking the rest of the festival programme for other free activities and exhibitions running throughout the weekend at the National Waterfront Museum.
