Runs from 13-17 April 2026. The week of activities is designed to promote an understanding and appreciation of both Food and Nutritional Sciences and to highlight career opportunities in these areas. The programme provides students with opportunities to conduct ‘hands-on’ experiments in our laboratories and includes a ‘fun with food’ workshop, a day in our bakery making breads and pastry, a workshop on smoking and salting meats, a day in Nutrition learning about techniques in nutritional assessment, a workshop on dairy processing and pupils will also learn about the sensory analysis of foods while participating in a taste panel comparing food products.
