EVENTS
LOOK UP! SCIENCE SHOW & FARMAGEDDON
Which planet is hottest? Which would float in a swimming pool? And just how much space is in space? Find out with local scientist Simon Watt in a live show of experiments you can recreate at home. Followed by Aardman’s latest feature animation A Shaun The Sheep Movie: Farmageddon.
ECO-CRAFTERNOON + THE LORAX
Save the planet whilst having fun with our sunpowered and up-cycled activities followed by a screening of Dr. Seuss’ tale of The Lorax, a forest creature who fights to protect the world.
HALLOWEEN 2022
This month we are celebrating Halloween with 'Alfie The Little Werewolf', a quirky film from The Netherlands about a young boy who develops full moon issues. Join us for an afternoon of spooky crafts, popcorn and a 'scary' movie suitable for ages 6+.
We are screening the film in Dutch with English subtitles (although you would be able to follow the film even if you can't read so fast..)
