Camp Quest UK is a freethinking summer camp for kids. They've been running camp since 2008 but this year they've been forced to cancel their physical camp due to Covid-19. They decided to hold two of our camp activities online so that campers, old and new, could still meet and get a little bit of camp experience.

Sessions are free and open to young people aged 10 to 17.

The wait is over: tickets to QED 2016 are now on sale, still just £99, or £69 for students and under 18s.

We are holding a GM on April 21 — be there or be elsewhere!

As a registered charity, we massively appreciate the support of the skeptical community and the donations we receive from individuals and organisations who want us to continue our work. With this in mind, we would like to thank the Greater Manchester Skeptics Society (GMSS) and Richard Dawkins Foundation (RDF) for their generous and hugely-appreciated donation of £1,000, resulting from an event that they jointly organised.
