People are invited to gets hands-on with human science at the University of Lancashire’s Burnley Campus.
On Saturday October 17th, people can visit Victoria Mill for a free event to explore the workings of the human body through 3D modelling, virtual dissection, edible DNA sweet models and more.
It’s an annual event, hosted by the University’s School of Life Sciences, to mark World Anatomy Day and inspire people of all ages to think about the wonders of the human body.
Raeesa Patel, who is organising the day’s activities, said: “We’ve got some great interactive workshops that will bring science to life and build on the great event that Dr Viktoriia Yerokhina organised last year.
“We’ll have detailed anatomy models for people to explore, our virtual dissection table where you can investigate the many layers of the human body, and real human tissue to examine under the microscope.
“Our younger visitors will be encouraged to create their own playdough skeletons, design and wear their own muscle masks and build their own DNA models with sweets. There really is something for everyone.”
The World Anatomy Day event will take place on the University of Lancashire’s Burnley Campus at Victoria Mill, between 10am – 3pm, on Saturday October 17th.
It is free to attend but people are asked to register via Eventbrite – World Anatomy Day 2026 Tickets, Saturday, October 17 • 10 AM - 3 PM | Eventbrite
