Seize the day gladly
In 2025, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is celebrating 125 years of impact and innovation and have commissioned this piece by Howard Goodall for the NPL Choir to sing at their summer garden party.
Step back in time and a celebration reminiscent of the garden parties of eras gone by. Pack a picnic and join this family friendly event suitable for all ages.
Discover the history of NPL by peeking behind the closed doors of Bushy House and it’s laboratories, meet and interact with scientific icons of the past, explore our iconic gardens, and enjoy music from the NPL band and choir.
Pony rides courtesy of Park Lane Stables will be available on the day, refreshments will be provided by the local scouts troupe and you’ll also have a chance to chat with some local charities.
