Attenborough at 100: a weekend of wildlife
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2026.
Britain’s best-loved naturalist Sir David Attenborough FRS turns 100 in May 2026 and has devoted seven decades to inspiring and educating people about the Earth’s animals and plants.
To celebrate, the Summer Science Exhibition invites you to a weekend of wildlife, conservation and biodiversity-related talks, panel discussions and screenings of some of the great Attenborough documentaries from over the decades.
In a packed programme, you’ll find out how life thrives in seemingly uninhabitable places, learn about the role of song in nature, see some of Attenborough’s most iconic moments on the big screen, and much more.
