Royal Institution Christmas Lectures: Dewsbury Library offering free tickets in December to livestreaming of one of UK’s ‘most prestigious science events’
Dewsbury Library is offering free tickets to a livestreaming of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in December.
Considered on of the most ‘most prestigious science events in the UK’, the lectures will be filmed live in London and livestreamed at Dewsbury Library on December 11 and 16 between 6pm and 8pm.
The lectures will be delivered by award winning scientist and author Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock, and streamed live from the Royal Institution Theatre.
The first lecture, on December 11, will explore how modern technology helps us search for life beyond Earth, and understand what life looks like from space, with astronaut insights and updates on the Artemis Moon mission.
The second, on December 16, will explore the search for signs of alien life and the mysteries of black holes.
The livestreaming will enable Kirklees residents to be among the first to watch the filming of this year’s Christmas Lectures.
Viewers will also see pauses, resets, audience interaction and extra content not seen in the final broadcast.
Places are limited to 40 attendees per session, so booking early is strongly advised.

Coun Amanda Pinnock, Cabinet Member for Communities and Environment, said: “It’s a tremendous honour to bring such a renowned national event right into the heart of Dewsbury.
“The Christmas Lectures have inspired generations and now young people across Kirklees can experience that excitement first-hand.
“These are the kind of high-quality opportunities we want for our communities. I encourage families to book early and be part of this extraordinary moment for our library.”
