Boomtown has announced The Observatory, a women-led academic research hub embedded into the festival this August — a concept not found at any other major UK festival in 2026. Led by Dr. Martha Newson from the University of Oxford and University of Greenwich, it involves researchers from 10+ universities exploring neuroscience, psychology, psychedelic science, collective behaviour and more across 77,000 attendees. 🔬🎪 #Boomtown #BoomtownFair #UKFestivals #Science https://thefestivals.uk/boomtown-launches-unique-festival-research-hub-2026/
