At the Faculty of Arts, there is a cycle of lectures featuring interesting personalities from all walks of life, and exhibitions of art and photography are put on in the Top Floor gallery. The Faculty of Science is closely involved in a range of events bringing science to a wide general public, including the regular Chemistry at the Castle festival.
