As we leave 2025 we wanted to wish you all Happy New Year
Starting the year with science
And celebrating 80 years of Harwell
So if you live in South Oxfordshire you might be fortunate enough to see this
We hope everyone’s looking forward to celebrating the New Year tonight ✨
Just a little reminder that tomorrow night (New Year’s Day) from 5 – 9pm, the UK’s most powerful display laser will shine from the heart of the iconic , creating The Beam, a vertical pillar of light visible across the region. Weather permitting, it will reach up to 8km into the night sky.
So if you're in the area, whether you’re on your doorstep, at a favourite viewpoint along The Ridgeway, or watching from the rugby fields on campus, take a moment to look up 👀
