Through a series of events, workshops, stakeholder focus groups, local and school engagement, plus new research in collaboration with the University of York: the project will bring to life one of the country’s most interesting figures.

"This project will draw together local people, school children, contemporary scientists, artists and writers to respond to Cavendish’s philosophical works and to reimagine Bolsover as a space for not only artistic but also scientific and philosophical investigation.
