Glasgow Science Festival 2026

Ever wondered what Glasgow’s foxes get up to at night? Join University of Glasgow researchers to learn about urban foxes, compare them with their rural cousins, create a fox mask, and follow their secret nocturnal world on a sensory map adventure. 

Urban tails - Glasgow’s Fox friends was developed as part of Glasgow Science Festival in Action, a training scheme run by GSF to support University of Glasgow research students to develop their public engagement skills. The team of research students from the Colleges of Science & Engineering and Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences were briefed to create family-friendly activities linked to the festival theme, Cheers for 20 Years. Emily Dearlove, Jai Bhausaheb Karne, Matthias Aquilina, Noelle Nunes, Pubali Guha and Grace Campbell did an amazing job and we hope you enjoy the activities.
