MedicFest is perfect for ages 8 to 14. We know setting an age limit can be frustrating, but from experience we know this is the most popular range to attend.
For our summer camp, parents can not attend this time round. We will be running Family Days from mid September at weekend for all ages and parents.
If your child requires SEN support, we are happy to welcome carers or parents on the day to support your child. You can tell us about this when you book your tickets.
We also have plenty of Discovery Workshops happening!
Students should apply as soon as possible to have the best chance of success. Opportunities may close early if many applications are received.
