Spark City has been plunged into darkness...

…and we need your help to bring power back to people's homes!

In this immersive and interactive workshop, children will make their own electric circuits with lights and motors, and even use electricity to launch a flying saucer!

With a focus on renewable energy and electrical safety, children will work together with the support of a team of dedicated Explainers to restore power to the city.


Tickets £8
Recommended for ages 5-8
