Bring your favourite toy along for a STEMM adventure with Isabel Thomas

Bring your favourite soft toy along for a STEMM adventure with science author Isabel Thomas, inspired by her newest picture book, Emily versus Gravity.

You’ll discover how and why gravity keeps our paws on the ground, and you’ll use “bear-o-dynamics” to make the seemingly impossible possible!

Enjoy a blend of interactive storytelling and science, plus a little engineering as you build a bear-launching contraption to take home!

One ticket per child, with one accompanying adult included per ticket.

Tickets £8, booking essential
