Just drop in, bring all the family to this free event, and investigate the wonderful wide world of science and technology.

Amino acids, immunology and computing all play a part in the magical world of science; delve into the magical world of all things scientific!

Meet experts from the local area and take part in numerous activities. Visit the community stands which show the science behind many different areas of our life.

With over 15 areas, there is fun to be had for all the family.

• Try out the biomedical ‘coconut’ shy
• Build a working circuit
• Look to the skies
• Build a rocket
• Try your hand at coding!
• Play a banana piano
• Try being an engineer with the huge Meccano kit

Don't forget - all the activities are free!

On Monday 2 May we will upload a link listing the attendees of the family day and a description of what they will be bringing on Saturday 7 May. Come along and visit all the stalls, pick up a Lamppost Scavenger hunt form while you are there, or post your completed forms into the post box. The two winners’ hampers will be available to view on the day.

Our ‘cellular shy’ will be making an appearance on the day, why not try knitting your own versions of the cells.
