Deptford SMASHfest

Jonah Hill: A huge earthquake happens, who do they rescue first? Actors. They'll rescue Clooney, Sandra Bullock, me. If there's room, you guys will come.
- This is the End

I'd like to introduce SMASHfestUK, a brand new science and arts festival for young people, piloting in Deptford during the February half term holidays.

Part sci­-fi, part horror and post-­Apocalypse, the festival is themed around a gripping story in which an asteroid is on a collision course with Planet Earth and a zombie invasion ensues. Visitors will have the chance to plan for Armageddon, whether it’s preparing for survival, singing for their lives at the End of the World Cabaret, creating a time capsule or taking a trip to the Intergalactic Travel Agency.

SMASHfestUK is the first event of its kind, designed to widen participation and build diversity in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) by engaging young people and hard to reach audiences.

SMASHfestUK is the creation of science TV production company The Refinery, and is partnered by the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, the Wellcome Trust, Middlesex University, and the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

Our story has already started, with interested participants submitting their own stories as to how they intend surviving armageddon. https://storify.com/smashfestuk
