Christmas lectures for children

UEA Christmas lectures for children 2025

Jingle All the Brain: Seeing is Believing

Sat 13 Dec, 10am and 12pm | Lecture Theatre 1, UEA

There's a reason why Santa makes a list and checks it twice! Join two jolly academics from UEA's School of Psychology to explore how your brain interprets memory, illusions and puzzles through a festive Christmas lens. Put on your thinking cap (or your Santa hat if you're merry), and crack open the brain's best secrets.

This year, there are two chances to get involved on Sat 13 December!

10am - 11:15am
12pm - 1:15pm

Please note: there are two 75-minute time slots - both sessions are the same.

Free to attend, booking required

Recommended for ages 7–11, but all are welcome.
