Leicester Riverside Festival – 3 to 4 June 2017

The MRC Toxicology Unit hosted a stand at the Leicester Riverside Festival from 3rd to 4th June 2017.

Leicester Riverside Festival is a lively weekend of activities for the whole family, offering boat trips, live music, a variety of food stalls from around the world and an exciting choice of activities for all ages, making it a fun packed weekend not to be missed!

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Leicester’s Riverside Festival, which has grown from a small Sunday afternoon event on Bede Park into a major two day festival and a summer highlight of the city’s programme.

The Unit’s stand was focused on the subject ‘Our medical research is funded by you – Ask us what we do’ to enable our scientists the opportunity to explain their science in everyday language to members of the public.

The stand attracted a wide variety of visitors, who were keen to find out more about the medical research that is being conducted in Leicester.
