Our Wonderful Brains
Our Wonderful Brains was a free, interactive public engagement event held at Manchester Art Gallery in February 2026, celebrating the science of the brain.
Across two days, hundreds of people attended to explore brain health, meet researchers, and learn how science is helping us better understand dementia and work towards new treatments.
The event featured a range of hands-on, family-friendly activities. Visitors created pipe cleaner neurons and brain hats, took part in games and challenges, explored the brain through an augmented reality experience, and spoke directly with scientists working in this area.
Online events
We also hold online discussion events, where scientists share their progress towards a cure and take your questions.
