Big Brain Tour 2026: Glasgow

Step inside our giant inflatable walk-through brain and discover fun, hands-on activities designed to raise awareness of brain health for people of all ages. Please note, this is an outdoor event, so check the weather and dress accordingly.

Whether you stay for 20 minutes or an hour, there’s something for everyone to explore, create and enjoy.

What to expect

🧠 An interactive walk-through experience inside Babs.

🧩Hands-on activities, including:

• Crafting your own brain cells and brain hats
• Voting on what matters to you for a good night's sleep
• Blending your own pedal powered smoothie
• And plenty more!

Our friendly team will be on hand to guide you through the activities, answer questions and help you get involved.

How long should I plan to stay?

We suggest planning for a 45-60 minute visit, but you’re very welcome to stay longer to enjoy all the activities or pop in briefly if you're short on time.

We ask visitors to book in advance. This allows us to keep numbers comfortable inside Babs and around the activity tables. We know plans can change, so we’ll always aim to be as flexible as possible on the day where capacity allows.
